A high shear viscometer measuring viscosity up to 10 million reciprocal seconds which far exceeds the measurement range of traditional viscometers.

The USV is a computer controlled instruments capable of fully automatic viscosity measurements up to 10⁷ s¹ reciprocal seconds. Accurate measurement of dynamic viscosity at a very high shear rates is of particular concern in the Automotive Industry.

The specialised design of the USV allows the rig to replicate permanent shear thinning behaviour enabling research into the rheological properties of low viscosity lubricants at a very high shear rates.

The USV unique design also removes the need for recalibration, decreasing test turnaround time and improving the accuracy of results by eliminating user error

USV main features :-

• Simple test set up reduces users errors
• Continuous monitoring of temperature allows even the slightest of variations to be corrected to ensure high accuracy of results
• Rapid turn-around testing, reliability and simplicity of use are key features of the USV.

These qualities make it ideal for research and development on new additives and lubricants as well as studying the effect of ageing.
