A new instrument for rapid and accurate determination of the viscous properties of
Newtonian & Non-Newtonian fluids including De-/Anti-icing Fluids
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE… The PDVdi-120 is a simple to use, accurate, low-cost, compact, and lightweight field viscometer that can be taken anywhere to measure the viscosity of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.
The PDVdi-120 consists of a viscometer main body with a reusable syringe (tube) and a falling needle attached to an extension bar with two markings. The viscosity of the sample is determined by measuring the falling time of a needle through a predetermined distance (between two markings on the extension bar attached to the needle) within the fluids held in the reusable syringe. The falling time can be measured manually by a stopwatch. The viscometer includes viscometer main body with two reusable syringes, falling needle, stopwatch, digital thermometer, an instruction manual and carrying case.
Features include: field viscosity test, no instrument calibration, multiple measurements with single sample, easy cleaning and maintenance (reusable syringe and large needle), and conforms to SAE AIR 5704 and ASTM D 5478.
Technical date:
• Viscosity range of 20 - 10,000 cP (2 - 106 cP with additional accessories)
• Accuracy and repeatability: Better than 2%
• Test sample volume: Approx. 25 cm3
• Needle material: Metal
• Needle densities: 2.916 g/cm3
• Total instrument weight: 0.38 kg (0.83 lbs)
Applications include: Adhesives, Aerosols, Automobile Fluids (Coolant, Engine Oil), Biomaterials, Coatings, Colloids, Cosmetics, Creams, Dairy Products, De-/Anti-icing Fluids, Detergents, Dispersions, Emulsions, Fertilizers, Foams, Fuels, Gels, Grease, Honey, Inks, Ketchup, Latex, Lubricants, Mayonnaise, Milk, Oils, Ointments, Paints, Petroleum, Polymers, Proteins, Pulp, Resins, Shampoos, Slurries, Soaps, Solutions, Surfactants, Suspensions, Varnish & many more
