Viscometer YR05840
Características
- Burbuja horizontal frente, sentarse Ajuste el nivel está bien, muy conveniente.
- Con la función de medición del tiempo. la mayoría de nuestras muestras medidas son líquidos no newtonianos típicos, y su viscosidad no sólo está relacionada con la temperatura y la velocidad de cizallamiento, sino también con el tiempo medido. Para que los datos medidos sean comparables, el tiempo medido debe ser coherente.
- La precisión de los datos medidos es de dos decimales.
- Utilizando un pequeño adaptador de muestra, el tamaño de muestra necesario para la prueba es muy pequeño, de 15-20 ml.
- Rango de control de temperatura: Temperatura ambiente más 10°C -250°C (horno de calentamiento opcional a 300°C)
- Viscosímetro con interfaz RS232 para conectar una microimpresora y un ordenador
