*Hand Viscosity meter (Viscolite)
hand viscosity meter (viscolite d21 and viscolite d15)/ nearly maintenance-free and robust for a practitioner in production/ everywhere applicable / even applicable from 15 ml (15 ccm) sample volume

The hand viscosity meter viscolite allows practitioners in a company an absolute mobile measuring of the viscosity - as a measuring device for multi local application. The extra robust construction qualifies this hand viscosity meter for an application under rough conditions in the industry. The detection of the viscosity can take place in nearly all liquid mediums. Therefore the viscolite is easy to control and eligible. Beside a classic use in laboratories/ production laboratories, the viscolite can also be used anywhere for a quick mobile test of viscosity. For example for a calibration and correlation with fixed viscometers for quick check-up on a medium during sequent production steps in order to detect the viscosity during reception inspection of resources or on additives during the final inspection… the viscolite is multilocal applicable. An integrated temperature measurement allows immediately the compensation of the temperature-dependant viscosity on the device. There is no limitation by the volume of the liquid or formation or dimension of the container, which contains the liquids. The viscosity can be determined at hardly any spot quickly and accurate due to this device. The first delivery includes an ISO calibration certificate.

- Easily to handle and eligible
- Accurate and reproducible measuring values 
- Measuring range: 0… 5000 cP

The measuring device can be used very easily in many industries and for various liquids. Such as to measure the viscosity of oil, mud, colour-suspensions, fibre suspensions, waxes, honey, syrup, paint, alcohols and sewages… simply all fluids and fluid mixtures, of which the viscosity fits the measuring range. In the following are some pictures that show the hand viscosity meter in operation on-site or in laboratory to measure the viscosity.

Meter for determination of viscosity in laboratory

Aside a nearly 100 percentage maintenance free rate this meter especially stands out due to the fact that for the determination of the viscosity there is no particular sample volume necessary like in case of the most other devices applied in laboratories. There is only a minimum weight or mass necessary, so that this meter makes also an accurate preparation of the sample mass unnecessary. In the field, during production or in laboratories- the hand viscosity meter opens new doors for every user in hardly any measuring situation and at hardly any measurement location.
