Viscometer
Viscosity Meter
Rotational

The extent to which a liquid resists a tendency to flow is defined as viscosity. In the coatings industry, this behaviour is one of the key parameters.

Elcometer manufactures and supplies a wide range of viscosity gauges from flow cups and dip cups to rotational and cone and plate viscometers.

The process of flow through an orifice can often be used as a relative measurement and classification of viscosity. This measured kinematic viscosity is generally expressed in seconds of flow time which can be converted into Centistokes using a viscosity disc calculator.

Using the same principle as flow cups, dip cups – Frikmar, Zahn, Shell, etc. – can be used to provide a quick viscosity measurement on the shop floor or on site.

Rotational:

Rotational viscometers / viscosity meters are used to determine the viscosity of liquids which do not depend solely on temperature and pressure. The behaviour of non-Newtonian liquids can be determined using a range of rotational viscometers in particular the Cone and Plate viscometers


Elcometer also offers a range of applicators that also explore the 'viscosity' of a coating, these include:

Levelling : NYPC levelling testers are used to determine a coatings ability to level before curing

Sagging : sag testers are used to determine the resistance to sag due to gravity

Elcometer 2300 Rotational Viscometers / viscosity meter tester

Elcometer 2300 Rotational Viscometers / Viscosity Meter Tester

The Elcometer 2300 range of rotational viscometers / viscosity meter tester measures the viscosity of liquids in accordance with several standards. Using a rotational viscometer, the properties of liquids and their resistance to shear or flow can be accurately measured. Available in four model variants, with a large selection of speeds, spindles and accessories, this range ensures determining the viscosity of liquids has never been easier. Conforms to ISO, ASTM, BS.

Elcometer 2200 Digital Viscometer / viscosity meter tester

Elcometer 2200 Digital Viscometer / Krebs Viscometer / Viscosity Meter Tester

This simple to use Elcometer 2200 Digital Rotational Viscometer / viscosity meter tester consists of a spindle and a paddle. The spindle is rotated at 200rpm and the viscosity value is calculated automatically. The Elcometer 2200 is also referred to as a Krebs Viscometer due to one of its units of measurement. Conforms to ASTM, FMTS.
