proRheo Covimat 205 DD inline viscometer for the paint and coating industry

Inline viscosity measuring for the paint and coating Industry (manufacturing and processing)

The Covimat 205 is a proven viscometer, that when integrated within the manufacturing process - can measure the viscosity of a liquid, 24 hours a day - 365 days a year. It delivers the data without wasting time, resources and any of the product itself.

The Covimat 205 DD & DD+ are rotational rheometers that have been specially designed for use in the paint and coating industry. Being a classical rotational rheometer, the viscosity of the product is measured without having to take the density of the product into consideration. Unlike vibrating or capillary viscometers, the Covimat is not affected by any variation in the density of the product. The Covimat 205 DD & DD+ is DIN 53019 compliant and enables you to monitor the viscosity directly during the processing or manufacturing procedure.

Measuring can take place within the main stream of flow, or when volumes are being processed, via a short bypass. The measuring principle of a rotational rheometer can be explained as followed: A measuring bob is submerged into a product and rotates at a predefined speed. The force created by the liquid trying to stop the rotation of the bob is used for measuring the viscosity of a product. A direct comparison to the data collected in a laboratory is possible, as laboratories use the same principle when measuring the viscosity of a product. The choice of different measuring bobs and rotation speeds enable a wide range of measurement.

Consists of:

• Metering head
• Measuring cell with spacer
• Measuring bob
