Equipment Overview
In the conventional annual measurement in the range of 103 to 1011Poise ( 102 to 1010Pa.s), three different types of equipment had to be used because the measurement principle and measurement systems were spread over three different systems. In addition, it was troublesome to combine the results of each measurement in order to obtain the desired temperature-viscosity characteristic curve.
This device overcomes these problems and streamlines them into a single device.

forte
- Viscosity measurement can be continuously performed on the same sample during the temperature increase process.
- Small sample volume and low temperature error.
- Automatic measurement is possible, and the data can be printed out as tables and graphs immediately after measurement.
Viscosity measurement range
- (Whole) 103-1011 poise
- (Penetration method) 1011 to 109 poise
- (Parallel plate measurement method) 109-105 poise
- (Disk rotation method) 105-103 poise
