Product Description
The Touch Screen Brookfield Viscometer, models YR05858 and YR05859, designed by Kalstein, epitomizes precision and versatility in viscosity measurement. Equipped with an advanced touch screen interface, this viscometer offers an intuitive user experience, allowing for seamless operation and data access. With a speed range of 0.3 to 100 rotations per minute, users can explore a total of 998 speed options, providing unparalleled flexibility for their testing needs.
Both models showcase a broad measuring range across various rotor types. The YR05858 model accommodates viscosity measurements from 10 to 2,000,000 mPa.s for standard rotors (L1-L4), whereas YR05859 extends the range up to 6,000,000 mPa.s. Additionally, specialized rotors and adapters enable low to ultra-low viscosity measurement, enhancing the viscometer’s application scope from routine laboratory tasks to more sophisticated industrial processes.
Measurement accuracy is paramount in any scientific instrument, and this viscometer delivers with a measurement error of ±1% for Newtonian liquids, complemented by a repetitive error margin of ±0.5%. The viscometer’s robust design ensures reliable data outputs via standard RS232 interfaces coupled with a temperature probe connectivity, further emphasizing its capability for comprehensive fluid analysis.
