About Kerbs Viscometer
Krebs Viscometer for Paint, Coatings and Ink. Direct Krebs reading on display RS232C Interface LCD Display Krebs Viscometer display Krebs Units, grams, and centipoise. Easy to use lower handle to activate
The Krebs Viscometer is a type of Rotational Viscometer, used to
measure viscosity of fluids, specially Paints, Coatings and Ink.
Its based on the popular traditional KREBS method, using a
weight-driven rotating paddle to sense the paint viscosity
at a constant 200 rpm.

FAQ's of Kerbs Viscometer:
Q: How does the Digital Krebs Viscometer measure viscosity?
A: The viscometer uses a Krebs paddle spindle rotated at a fixed speed of 100 RPM to measure the resistance of a sample. This resistance is directly translated into Krebs Units, grams, and centipoise, which are displayed instantly on the digital LCD.
Q: What types of containers are compatible with the viscometer?
A: The instrument is designed to accommodate standard paint cans with a 1-pint capacity, simplifying sample handling for paints, adhesives, or coatings.
Q: When should I calibrate the viscometer?
A: The viscometer is factory calibrated prior to delivery and is ready for use out of the box. However, periodic calibration according to your quality control protocols is recommended to maintain measurement accuracy.
Q: Where can the Krebs Viscometer be used?
A: This device is suitable for laboratories and industrial settings involved in paint, coating, and adhesive manufacturing, or in quality assurance departments. Its bench-top design is convenient for most workspaces.
Q: What is the process for testing a sample?
A: Simply fill a standard 1-pint can with the sample, position it in the viscometer, and start the measurement process. The device automatically displays the viscosity in multiple units, and its auto-stop feature ensures precise results.
Q: How do I benefit from electronic overload protection?
A: Electronic overload protection safeguards the instrument from damage in the event of an excessively viscous sample, extending equipment lifespan and maintaining accuracy.
Q: What is the main benefit of using this digital viscometer over manual alternatives?
A: The digital model provides rapid, highly accurate readings with minimal operator intervention, reducing the risk of human error and enhancing productivity in viscosity measurement tasks.
