Tannas Basic Rotary Viscometer​

High Temperature, Low Shear Rate Rotational (Absolute) Viscometer

 

About

A low-shear (1-200 reciprocal seconds) rotational viscometer that measures true viscosity (dynamic) not a combined viscosity-density value (kinematic).  This is very important when distinguishing the viscous properties of synthetic and mineral oils or when comparing water-based and oil-based lubricants. For automotive applications the TBR has been found particularly useful in measuring the viscosity of sooted diesel engine oils.

 

The TBR maintains a constant shear rate from 1 to over 200 reciprocal seconds (sec-1), depending on speed setting and rotor size.  The instrument analyzes fluids with viscosities ranging from 1 to 35,000 cP with the current Rotor design.  For measuring higher viscosities, a different size Rotor may be required.  This can be investigated and manufactured on a project-by-project basis, and the instrument can be customized to fit your needs.  The desired operating temperatures would be required for such a project to commence.

 

When measuring oils with viscosities too high to manually (hand) inject into the TBR via the syringe, a Pump Controller is required.

 

Features & Benefits
