byko-visc CP
Cone and Plate Viskometer

Measuring viscosity accurately and consistently is crucial in paint, coatings, inks, and similar industries. Here Cone and Plate Viscometers are important tools for quality control of raw materials and products. These viscometers require only small sample volumes and can apply high shear rates in a defined measurement geometry, providing absolute viscosity values for comparable and highly reproducible results.

The byko-visc CP Cone and Plate viscometer allows for the precise determination of the absolute viscosity of materials using minimal sample sizes. With built-in temperature control and constant shear rates throughout the whole sample it can measure and predict the performance of your samples closer to the conditions in your manufacturing or application process (E.g. Spreading of paint on a wall or flowing of a polymer melt inside a pipe). The byko-visc CP combines the ability to measure low shear applications such as automotive clear coats and high shear applications such as wall paints in one instrument without a loss in accuracy. The desired viscosity ranges can be customized according to different use cases by a selection of ten (separately available) cones. The byko-visc CP Cone and Plate viscometer offers a practical solution for any QC or R&D lab requiring quick, easy and reliable testing of the behaviour of a liquid under different conditions.
