Krebs Viscosimeter

Our BGD 184 and BGD 186 Stormer Viscometers are used for measuring the viscosity of Newtonian and non-newtonian fluids in accordance with ASTM D562. The viscosity of a non-newtonian material varies depending on the rate of shear, but Krebs Stormer Viscometer can measure the viscosity at a set speed shear rate which provides a consistent standard.

Based on the popular traditional KREBS method, using a weight-driven rotating paddle to sense the paint viscosity at a constant speed of 200 rpm, this modern digital instrument provides automated motor operation, without weights & pulley, allowing accurate direct reading in KU（Krebs Units）or g（gram). The conversion between these units is automatically calculated by the microprocessor and displayed on request. Sturdy construction allows for use either in a production environment or in the laboratory.
