VISCOMETER VP 1000 M

Portable rotary viscometer acc. to Brookfield Method suitable for production process and for laboratories and research centres any time when quick and reliable determination of viscosity are required.

The most outstanding feature of the portable viscometers VP 1000 M is their user-friendliness. Thanks to this characteristic it becomes an ideal tool to carry out measurements in the own premises during the manufacturing process for batch control.

Viscometers from the VP 1000 M series are very light (1,8kg) already assembled and ready to be used. They offer an important autonomy to the end user because they are battery operated. Two lines digital display with backlight. Viscosity reading is shown in screen together with full scale %. Instrument displays maximum measurement range when selecting spindle.

Instrument is supplied with 6 standard spindles (R2 – R3 – R4 – R5 – R6 – R7) and with a tailor-made measuring vessel, featuring a special anchoring system to ease centering of sample container and preventing vessel to be pushed aside by the rotating forces.

MYR portable viscometer VP 1000 M series is used to measure viscosity in samples from different industrial sectors: chemical, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic and print among others.

Accessories

Storage Rack

Storage rack allows displaying spindles orderly for easier use. Helps to keep them in perfect condition.

Stand

The stand can be used to fix the viscositmeter for easy measurement in the lab.

Spindle Protector

With the spindle protector the VP1000M can be quickly converted into a portable measureing device. No need for beakers, just hold the device into the liquid and get immediately a reading. Ideal for quick measurement of larger containers or in-production quality control.
