SWING VISCO

Chemspeed’s SWING VISCO deck modularity allows the user to execute and perform a variety of viscosity measurement workflows in a fully automated fashion.

E.g. Brookfield Viscometer LV and / or RVDV-II+ Pro BK (integrated in a Chemspeed platform as a robotic tool)

• Range: 75 – 40’000’000 mPa.s (cP).
• Speed range: 0.1-200 rpm.
• Accuracy: +/- 1 % of full scale range.
• On-line display.
• Temperature range: -70 oC to +220 oC, depending on deck configuration.
• Viscosity reproducibility: +/- 0.2 %.

Additional features and benefits to automation:

• Integrated software.
• Multistep test programs (e.g. sample preparation or formulation combined with viscosity measurement).
• Automated and constant z-movements of the Viscometer (e.g. to penetrate a sample and / or to generate z-resolved viscosity data in a well defined and reproducible way).
• Viscosity control and adjustment through conditional tasks.
• Calculation of average viscosity.
• Data processing with mathematical models.
• Automated analysis of user defined values for QC.
• Import of sets of test parameters, generate template programs of parameters (speed, time of measurement, etc.).
• Export data along with experimental data sets of choice to Excel, Chemspeed’s Workflow Management Software, VLab or virtually any other database.
• On-line display.
• Measurement with in-line constant delta time between virtually any action (e.g. open vial) and viscosity measurement, controlled humidity, controlled temperature, etc.).
• Time coupled measurements (e.g. overnight).
• One measurement and adjustment at a time.

• Washing installation for the viscosity spindle (passive or active washing bath).
• Export data as viscosity in cP or Pa.s, temperature, speed, spindle type, time of measurement.
• Temperature controlled measurement.
• Torque / viscosity logged during all measurement time.
