Description
The Rhopoint PAINTLAB+ Cone and Plate Viscometer is a high-precision instrument designed for accurate viscosity measurement of non-Newtonian paints and coatings. It operates by rotating a precision wear-resistant cone over a temperature-controlled plate, producing standardized shear rates while allowing real-time monitoring of viscosity changes. Fully automated positioning ensures the cone engages the sample only after the plate reaches the preset temperature, delivering instant results on-screen with high-resolution graphing to track changes in flow behavior. The instrument supports dual-speed operation, multiple viscosity ranges (0–100 P), and strict adherence to international standards such as BS 3900;A7, ASTM D4287, and ISO 2884.
Built for robust laboratory and production environments, the PAINTLAB+ features stable motor speed control, ease of cleaning, and date/time-stamped output, with annual recalibration possible by the user. Its precision allows manufacturers to detect subtle changes in coating rheology that could affect levelling, sagging, or overall performance, ensuring consistent quality throughout formulation, production, and application. Compact and lightweight yet versatile, this viscometer combines accuracy, automation, and durability for effective quality control of high-performance coatings.
