Paul N. Gardner Co. USA (GARDCO) announced a new offering of byko-visc CP Cone and Plate viscometers. The new models, designed and manufactured by BYK-Gardner USA, will include both high-temperature and low-temperature units, each backed by Lite firmware options. Featuring a robust direct-drive motor as well as an electronic cone lift, the new models offer precise and consistent results. The byko-visc CP Cone and Plate viscometers require only small sample volumes and can apply high shear rates in a defined measurement geometry, providing absolute viscosity values for comparable and reproducible results.

The new product line includes byko-visc CP L (5-75 °C), byko-visc CP H (50-235 °C) along with fixed-speed models byko-visc CP Lite L, byko-visc CP Lite H, and additional cones. They will boast the same intuitive, easy-to-use interface that users expect from BYK-Instruments.

Features include: 

• Fixed cone geometries that allow for absolute viscosity determination
• Built-in temperature control, which eliminates the need for additional thermal systems
• Small (<2 mL) sample sizes that save material and reduce cleaning time
• Precise shear rates powered by a robust direct-drive motor, which is ideal for non-Newtonian samples
• Versatile shear measurement for both high- and low-shear applications with a single instrument
• Quick cone switching without the need for recalibration
• Bayonet coupling for easy and secure cone attachment
