PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The DVNext Cone/Plate Rheometer operates by measuring the torque required to rotate a cone spindle immersed in a small sample volume of fluid. The resistance to the cone's rotation, caused by the fluid, is directly proportional to the shear stress. This torque is then used to calculate the fluid's absolute viscosity in centipoise (mPa·s). The precise relative position between the cone and plate is maintained through a simple mechanical setup without the need for external gauges.

VERSATILITY OF APPLICATION

The DVNext Rheometer offers a broad range of shear rates and viscosity measurements, making it suitable for various applications. Its small sample volume requirement is ideal for testing materials where sample availability is limited, such as biological fluids or expensive formulations. The instrument supports multiple cone spindles, which can be calibrated for specific applications.
