Byko-visc Basic EX
Byko-visc Basic EX 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 perform more complete, accurate, and repeatable viscosity control for laboratory quality control, R&D, formulation development, and batch comparison.
In coating formulation and production, viscosity directly affects sprayability, brushability, leveling, sagging, film build, and application consistency. Byko-visc Basic EX works by measuring the torque required to rotate a spindle at a specified speed in a liquid sample. This data is then used to determine viscosity values and help users verify whether the material meets process specifications and quality standards.
Byko-visc Basic EX includes the core features of byko-visc Basic, such as a 4-line LCD display, keyboard control, user calibration, auto-diagnostic check during startup, audio alarm for out-of-range measurement values, and display of speed, % torque, viscosity value, spindle number, and % full scale. The EX version adds programmable features such as Time to torque, Time to stop, 10 memory locations, temperature measurement with PT100 probe, and more complete data display including absolute viscosity, apparent viscosity, kinetic viscosity, shear rate, shear stress, density, sample temperature, and measurement range.
