Certified Performance and Reliable CalibrationEach unit is delivered with a calibration certificate, ensuring traceable, consistent results. The HAAKE Viscotester 3 is CE certified and built to deliver accurate viscosity assessments (1% accuracy), making it suitable for regulated applications and demanding laboratory protocols.
FAQ's of Thermo Scientific HAAKE Viscotester 3 Rotational Viscometer:
Q: How do I select the appropriate measuring spindle for my sample with the HAAKE Viscotester 3?
A: Choose the spindle based on the expected viscosity range of your sample. The instrument comes with six spindles, allowing you to match the spindle to your sample's thickness and achieve reliable, accurate measurements across a wide range of viscosities.
Q: What is the minimum sample volume required for a measurement?
A: The HAAKE Viscotester 3 requires a minimum sample volume of 10 ml to ensure accurate and repeatable viscosity readings with its supplied spindles.
Q: When should I perform calibration on this viscometer?
A: Every device includes a calibration certificate, but recalibration should be done routinely as recommended by your laboratory's quality standards or if the instrument has been subjected to heavy usage, mechanical shock, or significant temperature changes.
Q: Where can this viscometer be used, and how portable is it?
A: Thanks to its compact dimensions (240 x 85 x 80 mm) and light weight (approximately 2 kg), the device can be easily transported and used as either a bench-top or hand-held instrument, making it suitable for laboratory or field settings.
Q: What are the ambient and sample temperature ranges supported by the instrument?
A: The device operates in ambient temperatures between 5C and 40C. However, with a compatible temperature bath, it can be used to measure sample viscosities up to 150C.
Q: What is the benefit of the analog scale display on this viscometer?
A: The analog scale provides direct, immediate readings without the complexity of digital menus, facilitating quick interpretation and reducing user error during routine viscosity measurements.
Q: How does using this viscometer support compliance and quality control processes?
A: Being CE certified and delivered with a calibration certificate, the HAAKE Viscotester 3 supports regulatory compliance and ensures traceable, standardized viscosity measurements essential for quality assurance protocols.
