CATEGORY BENEFITS
An PSL Rheotek automated viscometer conducts the entire measurement process without any operator intervention.
Simplicity
The operator loads the sample, closes the cap and then presses “start testing” in the software. The following operations will then be conducted automatically: Sample elevation, sample resting, sample release, flow time determination in duplicate or triplicate as per method requirement, results calculation, sample removal, sample path cleaning, sample path drying. After approximately 26-30 minutes, the unit is then ready to accept a new sample.
Diversity
Automated viscometers are available in a wide range of configurations to suit client requirements. All our automated units feature a two solvent cleaning and drying system. This ensures, that the entire sample path is thoroughly cleaned and dried between each sample.
