ConsistometerVerify the consistency,viscosity, and flow ratesof fluidsl Meets military specificationR-81294B for paintmanufacturingUse this consistometer todetermine the consistency ofviscous materials by measuringthe distance that the materialflows under its own weightin a given time interval.Consistometer checks againstconsistency, viscosity, andflow rate standards. Ideal forpredetermining product formulasto standardize production lots.Determine the consistency andflow rate of viscous materials.Consistometer requires only 75 mL of sample for measurement.Engraved graduations in 0.5-cm divisions ensure accurate results;spring-loaded gate prevents premature sample flow.Stainless steel construction prevents corrosion.Catalog number Sample size Graduations Dimensions PriceZG-59950-00 75 mL 0.5 cm 14"L x 3 1 ⁄2"W x 5 1 ⁄2"HColeParmer.com/viscometersLab EquipmentViscometersFalling Ball ViscometersIdeal for routine plant quality control checksand research laboratory applicationsThis viscometer is extremely easy to use: first, fill the tubewith sample, then invert the tube. Next, restore tube tonormal position, turn the knob to release the ball, andthen simply measure the time of descent. The ball movesagainst a white background with red reference linesmaking it easy to read. Repeatability with good techniquevaries from ±0.2 to ±1.0%, depending upon time of descent.Viscometers require a 7-mL sample volume. Falling ballviscometers conform to ASTM D 1343-93.Viscometers have wetted materials of glass, Viton ® ,and Delrin ® acetal. PTFE O-rings are available for usewith liquids that adhere to Viton; call our ApplicationSpecialists for more information.What’s included: one glass and one 316 stainless steel(SS) high-precision ball. For higher viscosity ranges,use the optional tantalum ball (order separatelybelow table).08701-00SpecificationsRepeatability: ±0.2 to ±1.0%Sample volume: 7 mLCatalog number Ball Viscosity range (cp) PriceGlass 0.2 to 2ZG-08701-00 SS 1 to 10Tantalum † 2 to 20Glass 2 to 20ZG-08702-00 SS 10 to 100Tantalum † 20 to 200Glass 20 to 200ZG-08702-10 SS 100 to 1000Tantalum † 200 to 2000† Tantalum ball not included, order separately below.ZG-08702-50 Optional tantalum ball, 0.25" dia. Doublesthe viscosity range of the falling ball viscometersaboveThermo Scientific HAAKE Portable ViscometersSmall, battery-operated design for quick field tests and comparative measurementsl Rotational viscometers provide quick and reliable measurements for a varietyof fluid types ranging from paints and shampoos to sauces and oilsThese lightweight digital viscometers can be operated hand held or on a stand (orderseparately below) for your convenience. Converting the handheld unit to a stand alone unittakes only a matter of seconds—simply place in the special instrument holder. Use for quickviscosity tests for process optimization, machine adjustment, or to ensure your product iswithin specification.By displaying viscosity on a digital display, human error associated with manual timingand misreading analog dials are eliminated. Possible handling errors as well as serviceinformation are also shown on the display.Push a button to turn the unit on. Push the button again to select the rotor type, then beginmeasuring. A rotor rotating at a constant speed is immersed in the fluid to be tested; thefluid’s resistance to the rotation is correlated to the fluid viscosity. Three different sized rotorsare included with the meter for multiple application capabilities.What’s included: three rotors, carrying case, and four AA batteries. Model 08705-01 includestwo 150-mL sample cups; model 08705-02 includes one 150-mL sample cup.SpecificationsTemperature: up to 302°F (150°C)Rotational speed: 65.5 rpmZG-04546-00 Stand, 29"H x 5 ⁄8" diameterZG-09376-01 Replacement batteries, AA.
