DV viscometers with Wells/Brookfield cone and plate systems

Cone plate systems for the determination of absolute viscosity of small samples.

Small samples 0,5 - 2,0 ml
Rapid temperature control due to small sample size
Electronic Gap Adjustment™ simplifies set up and improves accuracy
Accuracy of ±1,0 % of range; repeatability 0,2 % of full scale range

The resistance to the rotation of the cone, caused by the presence of the sample fluid between the cone and plate, produces a torque that is proportional to the shear stress in the fluid. The correct relative position of cone and plate is obtained by following a simple mechanical procedure without the need for external gauges or supplementary instrumentation.

: A cone plate version is available for the viscometer models described above except DV-E. Cone and plate systems cannot be retrofitted onto standard viscometers. Supplied with one cone spindle, stand and sample cup. Other accessories are available on request.
