Designed and manufactured by BYK-Gardner USA, this advanced line of viscometers leverages Direct Drive Technology to deliver accurate, repeatable, and reliable results.
GARDCO, a supplier of physical and inspection instruments for the paints and coatings industry, has unveiled its new byko-visc CP Cone & Plate viscometers.
“Our new viscometers are equipped with direct drive technology and electrically enabled up & down controls, ensuring precise and consistent results every time,” has stated James Fusco, Product Manager of GARDCO.
These new models, available in both high-temperature and low-temperature variants, are equipped with Lite firmware options
for enhanced performance. Featuring a robust direct drive motor and an electronic cone lift, the viscometers provide good precision and consistency. With minimal sample volume requirements and the ability to apply high shear rates in a controlled geometry, the byko-visc CP viscometers ensure reproducible and absolute viscosity measurements.
The new line includes:
- byko-visc CP L (5-75°C).
- byko-visc CP H (50-235°C).
- byko-visc CP Lite L and byko-visc CP Lite H (fixed-speed models).
Byko-visc CP Cone & Plate viscometers have good quality, design, and engineering, offering accuracy, repeatability, and intuitive operation.
Key Features
- Absolute Viscosity Measurement: Fixed cone geometries ensure precise results.
- Integrated Temperature Control: Eliminates the need for external thermal systems.
- Small Sample Volumes: Requires less than 2 mL, reducing material waste and cleanup time.
- Precise Shear Rates: Ideal for non-Newtonian samples, powered by a robust direct drive motor.
- Versatility: Suitable for high and low shear applications with a single instrument.
- Quick Cone Switching: No recalibration needed, enabling seamless transitions.
- Bayonet Coupling: Ensures easy and secure cone attachment.
