The condition monitoring paint viscosity tester measures by means of the mechanical resistance of any liquid that acts in the opposite direction to the rotational movement of a spindle. This results in a torque that is recognized by the condition monitoring paint viscosity tester and converted into a viscosity value. With an accuracy of ± 1.0%, the condition monitoring paint viscosity tester is a very precise measuring device despite the high measuring range of 10… 2,000,000 cP or mPa*s. With the immersion resistance temperature sensor on the condition monitoring paint viscosity tester, the temperatures of the liquids to be tested can be measured between 0 and 100 °C or 0 and 212 °F.

This condition monitoring paint viscosity tester is used, for example, in the quality control of oils. Many oils change their viscosity depending on the temperature. Thanks to the timer function, the condition monitoring paint viscosity tester can work independently for the period set by the operator. In the meantime, the measurement data is transferred from the condition monitoring paint viscosity tester to a PC via the RS232 interface. Software for the condition monitoring paint viscosity tester can then display the temperature profile and also the viscosity profile graphically and in tabular form. An optional printer can also be connected directly to the condition monitoring paint viscosity tester in order to print out the respective measured value.

The condition monitoring paint viscosity tester can be adapted to a wide variety of environments. The condition monitoring paint viscosity tester can be leveled using the height-adjustable feet so that the measuring spindle is always vertical in the medium to be measured. To help with this, there is a bubble level on the head of the rotary condition monitoring paint viscosity tester. The height of the test device can also be adjusted by approx. 25 cm in order to position the spindle appropriately.
