Obsnapmeter- AUTOMATIC KREBS VISCOMETER

The Obsnapmeter Automatic Krebs Viscometer is a fully automated instrument for measuring viscosity of paints, coatings, and inks using the Krebs KU method. It offers high accuracy, reproducible results, and supports both manual and automatic operation with a clear digital display.

  • Fully Automatic & Manual Modes – Automatic spindle lowering and measurement; manual mode allows use of various containers.
  • High Precision Measurement – Range: 40.2–141 KU, 31–1099 g, 27–5274 cP with resolution 0.1 KU / 1 g / 5 cP.
  • User-Friendly Interface – Four-line backlit display, easy-to-set Sample Waiting Time (SWT) and Sample Measuring Time (SMT), level adapter for ½ pint and 1 pint containers.
  • Connectivity & Data Logging – Unidirectional RS232 interface allows printing or storing results for quality control compliance.

Description

The Obsnapmeter Automatic Krebs Viscometer is a fully automated viscometer designed for precise and reproducible viscosity measurements in the paint, coating, and ink industries. Following the Krebs KU method, it operates at a constant speed of 200 rpm with a standard Krebs-type spindle, converting measurements automatically into Krebs Units (KU), grams, or cP. The instrument offers both manual and automatic modes, allowing flexibility for different container sizes and measurement protocols. In manual mode, the spindle can be positioned and controlled using simple UP and DOWN keys, while automatic mode allows programming of Sample Waiting Time (SWT) and Sample Measuring Time (SMT) for fully automated cycles.

Weighing 8.5 kg and operating at 100–240V with an operating temperature range of +10°C to +40°C, the Krebs Viscometer features a four-line backlit digital display, easy-to-use interface, and RS232 unidirectional output for printing and data storage. The level adapter set accommodates ½ pint and 1 pint containers, ensuring accurate and consistent measurements. With a resolution of 0.1 KU, 1 g, or 5 cP, and an IP20 protection rating, this viscometer combines high accuracy, reliability, and ease of use, making it an essential tool for quality control laboratories in the coatings industry.
