KU-1+
Krebs Units Digital Viscometer
- Continuous
sensing and display in Krebs units or grams
- Allows
rapid sample measurement to determine required
consistency
- LED
Digital Display of:
- Krebs
Units (increased resolution in 0.1 KU
increments)
- Grams
(in 1 gm increments)
- Expanded
measurement range (40 to 141 KU; 32 to 1099 g)
- Accuracy
to ?% of range
- Reproducibility
to ?.5% of range
- Output
to parallel printer for automatic test documentation
- Easy
to use; no weights; simplifies an established test
procedure
- Compatible
with industry specification (ASTM D562)
- Base
accommodates standard pint, 1/2 pint, and quart cans
- Optional
air purge allows interior of KU-1+ to be pressurized
with air or inert gas.
- The
optional paste spindle is suitable for use with high
consistency materials such as roller mil pastes.
- NIST
traceable viscosity standards available
Operation
Samples are tested in standard paint industry cans held
by a fixture located on the viscometer base. The can is
filled to within 3/4" (20mm) of the top. The KU-1+
operating lever has two positions:
Up:
Spindle stationary, drive motor off
Down: Spindle rotating; sample
being measured
The
displayed reading can be held by depressing the HOLD
switch at any time. With the viscometer in the HOLD
configuration, the display may be switched to compare
the Krebs unit (KU) reading with the associated gram
(gm) reading.
Brookfield Oil Viscosity Standards in Krebs units are
NIST traceable and are recommended for verifying
calibration of the KU-1+ Viscometer.
