Product Description

Details

The PSL Rheotek Automatic Ink Viscometer provides a reliable and precise system for measuring dye and pigment inks.

The RPV-1 automates the manual steps set out in standard methods, minimizing the variability of results.

Flow times are measured automatically using specially developed ink viscometer tubes supplied with ISO 17025
certificates of calibration.

Cleaning is carried out in-situ utilizing three solvents and a safe vacuum system.

The comprehensive RPV-1 software program records all measurement data as well as calculating a wide
range of results.

Standard Practice:
ASTM D2857 Determination of the dilute solution viscosity of polymers.
 
Test Methods General:
ISO 1628 Part 1 Determination of the reduced viscosity, intrinsic viscosity and K-value of polymers in dilute solution using glass capillary viscometers
 
Other Test Methods:
ASTM D445 Standard Test Method for determination of kinematic viscosity
ISO 3104 Petroleum products – determination of kinematic viscosity
IP 71 Section 1 Kinematic Viscosity
