Uni-Cylinder Rotational Viscotester
Allows Easy Measurement of Fluid Viscosity

The VT-05/06 is designed for quality control applications in the manufacturing process of
industrial products such as petrochemicals, paint, and adhesives, as well as foodstuffs.
Viscosity measurements covering a wide range are possible, such as gear oil used in
construction machinery. Measurement is performed by simply submerging a rotor in the
fluid. The resistance to rotor movement caused by the viscosity (torque) is measured to
obtain direct readings.

Compact and light weight make the unit easily portable and
allow operation with one hand
Can be powered by alkaline batteries, nickel-hydride rechargeable batteries,
or AC adapter
Direct indication of viscosity in millipascal-seconds or decipascal-seconds (SI units)
Dedicated stand for measurement available as option
Usage
1. Attach rotor to unit and hold unit in the hand or place on dedicated stand.
(Unit should be approximately horizontal in either case.)
2. Insert rotor in sample fluid, turn power on, and select rotor number.
3. Press start button and read indicated viscosity.
VT-06 allows use of No. 1 rotor, No. 2 rotor, and supplied extension rod to reach fluid at a greater distance.
