Byko-visc Basic

Byko-visc Basic is a BYK-Gardner rotational viscometer used to measure viscosity and flow behavior of paints, coatings, inks, varnishes, adhesives, resins, lacquers, and other liquid materials. This instrument helps users control material viscosity accurately, repeatably, and practically for laboratory quality control and R&D applications.

In coating formulation and production, viscosity is an important parameter because it affects sprayability, brushability, leveling, sagging, film build, and application consistency. Byko-visc Basic works by measuring the torque required to rotate a spindle at a specified speed in a liquid sample. The measured torque is then used to determine material viscosity, allowing users to evaluate whether the sample meets process and quality specifications.

Byko-visc Basic is designed as a multi-function viscometer with economical pricing and easy operation. The instrument features a 4-line LCD display, keyboard control, user calibration, auto-diagnostic check during startup, audio alarm for out-of-range measurement values, and data display such as speed, % torque, viscosity value, spindle number, and % full scale. This product is suitable for paint viscosity control, coating QC, ink testing, varnish testing, adhesive testing, resin evaluation, batch comparison, and formulation development.
