Overview
The AELAB SNB-T Series Touch Screen Rotary Viscometer performs precise viscosity measurement using modern touch screen control for rapid, accurate fluid viscosity testing. The AELAB SNB-T Series rotary viscometer integrates a 5 inches large color touch screen, built-in test programs, and stable rotor speed control to quantify viscosity and related rheological parameters in laboratory and industrial quality control environments.
The AELAB SNB-T Series Touch Screen Rotary Viscometer is widely used for viscosity testing of fluids and materials under heating, high temperature, and melting conditions. Typical applications include paint, coatings, cosmetics, printing ink, paper pulp, food, oil, latex, starch, solvent-based adhesives, and biochemical products where viscosity stability and repeatability are required.
⚙️ Design & Construction
The AELAB SNB-T Series Touch Screen Rotary Viscometer uses a rigid benchtop structure with stable leveling support to maintain consistent rotor alignment during viscosity measurement. The SNB-T Series rotary viscometer is controlled through a 5 inches color touch screen that displays measurement parameters and working conditions in real time. The instrument is equipped with standard rotors 1#, 2#, 3#, 4#, and a 0# rotor for low viscosity testing.

🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method
The AELAB SNB-T Series Touch Screen Rotary Viscometer measures viscosity by rotating a calibrated rotor in the sample at a controlled speed (r/min) and calculating viscosity from the resistance torque generated by the fluid. The SNB-T Series rotary viscometer automatically scans and recommends the best combination of rotor and speed, enabling accurate viscosity measurement across the selected viscosity range. For kinematic viscosity display, the AELAB SNB-T Series requires sample density input to calculate kinematic viscosity from dynamic viscosity.
