Portable Field Viscometer:
PDVdi-120
A
New Instrument for the Rapid and Accurate Determination of
the Viscous Properties of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian
Fluids Including De-/Anti-icing Fluids
The PDVdi-120 Portable Field
Viscometer is a revolutionary, portable, efficient, alternatives to larger
full-featured laboratory viscometers. The PDVdi-120
is 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 combines
economy, ease of operation, accuracy, reliability, and
versatility. High quality of instrument guarantees
reliable performance for a long life.
The new PDVdi-120 Portable Field Viscometer 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 a viscometer main body with two
reusable syringes, a falling needle, a stopwatch, a digital thermometer, an instruction manual and a carrying case.
