Description

Cone and Plate Viscometer

Model: CP1

Brand: Sheen Instruments – UK

  • The viscosity of coatings, such as paint, show typical changes when applied with brush, roller or spray gun etc. under high shear rates. For this reason, it is essential that the flow behaviour of such non-newtonian products is tested under stringent conditions, in order to achieve optimal formulation and process monitoring.
  • Standardised test methods recommend a shear rate of 10,000 s-1 (BS) or 12,000 s-1 (aSTM) as satisfactory test figures.
  • This new Cone and Plate Viscometer is specially designed for this purpose. A highly accurate wear resistant cone rotating at high speed on a temperature controlled plate simulates the expected “real world” application shear.
  • The combination of the instrument’s 2 standard speeds and the choice of 5 viscosity ranges allow precise testing of a wide range of products in compliance with national test methodologies.
