Instrument used to measure accurate Viscosity and Yield Value of ink, Varnishes & other viscous materials in the development of ink formulation and in manufacturing of high quality printing ink by Falling Bar Principle. (LARRY Method)
 
Featuring advanced microprocessor based electronic with infrared controls. Lloyds Viscometer provides the highest accuracy and efficiency for research and development, quality control and process evaluation. A most important instrument used in the manufacturing of high quality printing ink and varnishes to control viscosity and yield values at various stages of production, and accurate quality control of production batches without any chances of rejection or reworking
 
Viscosity and yield value of a given printing ink are important properties and must be controlled in a fair limits, if consistent and reproducible printing results are to be achieved.

• Confirms to ASTM D4040

• Microprocessor based electronics for high reliability and accuracy

• Simple and fast method of test and easy to operate

• Only 2 cc of test sample required

• Steel Viscobar and glass Viscobar (Optional) for low viscosity i.e. liquid ink, etc.

• Failsafe auto manual electronic design with auto zero for minimum testing time

• Nil or Minimum maintenance needed

• Best for regular production and for developing accurate formulations and R & D work

• Glass viscobar for low viscosity measurement with calibrated weights for low viscosity i.e. liquid ink, resins etc

• Refrigerated water bath for maintaining accurate test temperature of viscometer
