New byko-visc CP Cone & Plate Viscometers
Rotate and flow through thick and thin
Accurate control and measurement of the viscosity of samples is a key step in the quality assurance process of paints and coatings. To meet your requirements BYK-Instruments now offers a new product line of Cone and Plate viscometers to help with the exact determination of viscosity where it matters most.
These Cone and Plate viscometers are available in two different versions, each with a Lite option.
The low temperature model from 5 to 75 °C is the ideal instrument for room temperature measurements in any environment.
Its Peltier technology allows for the rapid cooling as well as heating of the sample plate allowing for quick and accurate temperature control.
The high temperature model from 50 to 235 °C is ideal for samples that need to be evaluated at higher temperature such as polymer melts.
All models feature an electronic cone lift that automatically lowers the cone onto the robust tungsten carbide sample plate.
All driven by a robust direct drive motor. Cones are attached and seamlessly switched by a bayonet coupling. No need for recalibration!
These new Cone and Plate viscometers offer the same intuitive design as our rotational viscometers.
