Equipment Overview
In conventional viscosity measurement, measurement in the range of 104Pas ( 105Poise ) is difficult with the rotary method, and preparation of samples was not easy with the softening point measurement method according to JIS-R3103-1. This device continuously measures 103 to 108 Pa.s ( 104 to 109 Poise) using the parallel plate measurement method in which a sample with parallel surfaces is heated and pressurized.

Features
- Small sample volume minimizes temperature error.
- Automatic operation, viscosity calculation and graphing by PC are available.
- Sample creation is relatively easy.
