ANTON PAAR: Rotational Viscometer

The ViscoQC rotational viscometer offers convenient operations and reliable and traceable viscosity results. With the simplest spindle exchange mechanism, automatic spindle detection, and automatic speed searching for new formulations, this viscometer will eliminate measurement errors.
Offering ease of use, this product takes less than two minutes to set up, with an SOP booklet with first steps and user training. It uses the same instrument setup and measuring settings, so users can continue to use the SOP methods of their existing rotational viscometers.
The viscometer provides full traceability for reliable viscosity tests. With the Toolmaster™ feature, spindles are automatically detected by the viscometer as soon as they’re attached, and built-in digital leveling automatically monitors and indicates the correct levelling status. This prevents faulty measurements and ensures full-scale range accuracy of ± 1%.
Upgrade accessories include: PTD 80 for fast and accurate control of sample temperature (+15 °C to +80 °C); PTD 175 for high performance temperature control, suitable for standards like ASTM D2983/D8210/D5133/7110 and DIN 51398; PTD 100 Cone-Plate for small sample volumes (0.5 mL to 2 mL); ETD 300 for high-temperature measurements of bitumen and hot melts, and for standards like ASTM D4402 and AASHTO T316; and Heli-Plus, for non-flowing substances like gels, pastes, and creams.
