PCE RVI 8 Viscometer Viscosity Tester - PCE-RVI 8

PCE RVI 8 Viscometer Viscosity Tester - PCE-RVI 8

The PCE RVI 8 Viscometer Viscosity Tester offers a measurement range of 27 to 5250 cp with an accuracy of ±1% of the measuring range. It is commonly used in quality control during production processes and in various laboratory settings. Thanks to its broad measurement range, it allows for precise viscosity testing of paints, oils, and other liquids, making it suitable for a wide array of applications.

The 5" LCD touchscreen enables easy operation of the viscometer. The measured values ??from the viscometer are displayed during the measurement. At the same time, the measured values ??are graphically displayed on the viscometer in order to obtain a course of the viscosity.

The external temperature sensor on the viscometer can be used to ensure that the sample is at the correct temperature. This allows the measurement results to be compared with other samples, since the temperature has an influence on the viscosity. Thus, the temperature measurement is an essential part of the determination of the viscosity.

With the optional software, the viscometer can be connected to a PC. The software displays the measured values ??from the viscometer live during a measurement. The individual measuring points are displayed in a table as well as graphically. The recorded measured values ??can be exported as a .csv file for further processing.
