Digital Krebs viscometer

Brought to you by TQC Sheen, our paint specialist testing brand. This industry-leading krebs viscometer uses a paddle immersed in a vessel containing a fixed volume of the paint under test. A constant speed motor drives the paddle at exactly 200 r.p.m. and also the torque induced is proportional to the viscosity of the sample and is converted into viscosity (cP), Krebs units (KU) and weight units (g). The Unit equipped with a clear display and easy for user to interface, that will ensure highly reproducible results in fully automatic measuring cycles.

Krebs viscometer DV2300 measurements 

You get a direct, accurate reading in KU (Krebs units), cP (centipoise) or g (grams). The unit conversion is done automatically by the instrument and also shown on the LCD display. Depending on the setup the measurement is manual and continuous with all three units shown or just one unit shown with max hold functionality or automatic and also timed after a set delay. 

Rotational Viscometer – Design

Due to the sturdy design of our viscometers, you can use it in the laboratory but also in a harsh production environment. Rotational viscometers measure the viscosity of the sample by turning a spindle in a cup.

A Krebs spindle is immersed in a vessel that contains a fixed volume of the sample material. A constant speed motor drives the paddle at exactly 200 r.p.m. and the torque also induced is proportional to the viscosity of the sample and is converted into viscosity (cP), Krebs units (KU) or weight units (g).

Multi-industry testing 

Viscometers are widely uses in a variety of fluids that require viscosity measurement, including paints, coatings, cosmetics, inks, pulp, food, oils, starches, solvent-based adhesives, latexes, biochemicals and other more.  

Our viscosity testing portfolio

We make lots of different viscosity testing devices and accessories. Some of the other viscometer options we can provide include the TQC Sheen Multi Spindle Viscometer and also the TQC Sheen Cone and Plate Viscometer CP1. 

We also make a wide variety of viscosity cups of all different shapes and sizes. The options include our ISO 2431 Viscosity Cup, the ASTM D1200 Immersion Ford Viscosity Cup and the DIN 53211 Viscosity cup. 

Be sure to take some time to browse through the full Industrial Physics viscosity testing portfolio.

Should manufacturers switch to water base paints?

There’s been quite a move towards water based paints in recent years, thanks to a variety of environmental and safety concerns, but is it something you should be worrying about right now? We’ve put together some handy information to help you decide. Click here to find out more.
