Portable / Disposable Viscometer:
PDV-100 Automatic
Portable / Disposable Viscometer: PDVa-100
A
New Instrument for the Rapid and Accurate Determination of
the Viscous Properties of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian
Fluids
The
PDV-100 and PDVa-100 Portable/Disposable Viscometers are
revolutionary, portable, efficient, alternatives to larger
full-featured laboratory viscometers. The PDV-100
and PDVa-100 are simple to use, accurate, low-cost,
compact, and lightweight field viscometers that can be
taken anywhere to measure the viscosity of Newtonian and
non-Newtonian fluids. The PDV-100 and PDVa-100 combine
economy, ease of operation, accuracy, reliability, and
versatility. High quality of instrument guarantees
reliable performance for a long life. Small
sample size and temperature control can be accommodated.
The PDV-100 and PDVa-100 Portable/Disposable Viscometers
consist of a
support stand and a disposable sample tube filled with the
liquid of which the viscosity is to be determined.
Viscosity of the sample can be determined by measuring the
falling time of a controlled needle through a
predetermined distance of the fluid held in the sample
tube. The falling time is measured automatically
(PDVa-100) or manually by a stopwatch (PDV-100).
