Viscometers RC01 / RC02
for fast viscosity measurements (Brookfield method)
The RheoTec models RC0 and RC02 are rotational viscometers for easy and fast viscosity determination as specified in ISO 2555 and other ASTM standards.
These standards define a viscometer to be used in torque, rotational speed and spindle design. The viscometers RC01 / RC02 (versions L or R) comply with the provided instrument specifications and are therefore 100% compatible to the Brookfield method.
These instruments with an easy-to-clean geometry give the opportunity to do precise and time-saving single point measurements in daily routine as well as to perform advanced viscosity determinations in research and development.
Special Features
- clear keypad allows a simple menu navigation
- digital display for direct reading of diverse parameters
- complete Brookfield spindle set (torque range versions L or R)
- temperature sensor Pt100 for flexible installation
- warning signal of under- or over-range condition
- interface RS232 for data transfer to PC
- bidirectional interface RS232 for RC02 control and PC data evaluation
- robust carrying case for viscometer and standard accessories (incl. spindle rack, spindle guard and manual)
