ROTARY VISCOMETER
Rotary Viscometers MYR V0/V1/V2 acc. to ISO 2555/ASTM (Brookfield method)
SERIE
VR 3000
VISCOMETERS VR 3000
The MYR viscometers, models V0, V1 and V2, are rotational viscometers for the fast determination of viscosity as specied in ISO 2555 and other ASTM norms. Instrument oers viscosity measurements which are 100% compatible with the Brookeld method and permits to carry out comparative measurements in accordance to recognized standards in quality control laboratories All models are available in three dierent versions: version L for low to medium viscosity, version R for medium to high viscosity and version H for high to very high viscosity.
FEATURES
The basic model, V0, has digital display for direct reading of diverse parameters (see detail), under- or over-range warning signal and 24 months warranty. Model V1 adds interface RS232, software ViscosoftBasic for data gathering and temperature probe (PT 100). Used together with a thermal printer (optional) meets requirements of the storage data in quality control Additionally model V2 has 2 more speeds and consequently a wider viscosity range , bi-directional interface RS232 and optionally, software ViscosoftPlus, for the automated control of viscometer and the issuing of rheological studies.
COMPATIBILITY
Standard ISO 2555 describes a viscometer in torque, speed and spindle geometry. MYR rotary viscometers meet such specications and are therefore 100% Brookeld method compatible.

ACCESORIES
ADAPTER FOR SMALL SAMPLE VOLUME
The Adapter for small sample volume (APM) consists in a precision spindle rotating inside a sample container. Container ts into a circulating water jacket for precise temperature control (-10C to +100C). It is commonly used when available sample is in very small quantities (8  13 ml) and depending on the viscometer version uses a dierent set of cylindrical spindles which have to be ordered separately. Direct readout of sample temperature is possible by ordering an Adapter with embedded temperature sensor in lower cap.

PC BASED SOFTWARE
ViscosoftBasic supplied together with model V1 allows to download data directly from Viscometer. Measured values are shown in a chart and can be saved in Excel format for posterior evaluation. Use ViscosoftPlus with model V2 and control instrument from your PC. Software permits to program dierent analysis methods (processes) to obtain graphics and charts including test data. Results obtained can be displayed in graphics. Viscosity plots can be congured vs. dierent parameters.
ADAPTER FOR LOW VISCOSITY MATERIALS
The Adapter for low viscosity materials (LCP) is an accessory which consists in a precision spindle rotating inside a sample container. Container ts into a circulating water jacket for precise temperature control. Used together with the MYR viscometers it allows accurate and reproducible measurements on low viscosity materials and shear rate determinations. It is commonly used to enlarge low viscosity ranges until 1 cP. It is also available with embedded PT 100 in lower cap for a direct readout of sample temperature and without water jacket for samples requiring to be temperized at high temperatures (up to 200C).

ACCESORIES
ADAPTER FOR HELICOIDAL MOVEMENT
Used together with the viscometers of the VR 3000 serie, the Adapter for Helicoidal movement allows comparative viscosity measurements in substances which cannot be analyzed using standard methods and spindles. Useful to measure viscosity in creams, gels, gelatins and other materials which do not ow easily. The up-down movement permits spindle to trace a helicoidal path in material avoiding holes and channels.in material. Adapter is supplied with 6 T-type special spindles (PA,PB,PC,PD, PE, PF)
