ROTAVISC Lo-Vi viscometer

ROTAVISC Lo-Vi: A precision tool for viscosity measurement

The ROTAVISC Lo-Vi from IKA is designed for demanding laboratories where precision and reliability in viscosity measurements are essential. This rotary viscometer, coupled with the CBC VISC lite thermostatic bath, offers a complete solution for analysing liquids whose viscosity depends on temperature.

Viscosity is a fundamental property of fluids, influencing their behaviour in many industrial and scientific processes. To obtain accurate results, it is crucial to control the sample temperature precisely. This is where the ROTAVISC Lo-Vi excels. Thanks to its integrated thermostatic bath, it maintains a stable and homogeneous temperature, ensuring reliable and reproducible measurements.

The ROTAVISC Lo-Vi stands out thanks to its wide measuring range, from 1 to 6,000,000 mPa.s, making it suitable for a wide variety of samples, from low-viscosity fluids to extremely thick materials. Its powerful motor and precise speed control (from 0.01 to 200 rpm) allow the measurement conditions to be adjusted to the specific requirements of each application.

One of the major advantages of this viscometer is its intuitive user interface, equipped with a TFT display. This display shows not only the measured viscosity, but also the temperature, rotation speed and torque, making it easy to monitor parameters in real time. In addition, the ROTAVISC Lo-Vi is compatible with labworldsoft®software, enabling simplified automation and documentation of measurement results.

The CBC VISC lite thermostatic bath, specially designed to accompany the ROTAVISC Lo-Vi, is another highlight of this package. Covering a temperature range from -25 °C to 125 °C, it allows you to work with samples requiring a variety of thermal conditions. Its optimised design ensures efficient water circulation and rapid temperature rise, while offering the possibility of pre-tempering a second sample during measurement. In addition, it uses the natural refrigerant R290, reducing its environmental impact.

Thanks to its connection for an external pump, the ROTAVISC Lo-Vi can be used with standard DIN-compliant vessels, enabling absolute viscosity measurements with ELVAS pins or double-walled beakers. Its adjustable telescopic stand and extension arm make it easy to position and use in different laboratory environments.

The ROTAVISC Lo-Vi is designed for easy maintenance. Its removable and cleanable air filter ensures optimum performance over the long term. With its compact dimensions and low weight, it fits easily into any workspace.

The ROTAVISC Lo-Vi from IKA is an indispensable tool for scientists and engineers working on applications that require accurate and reliable viscosity measurements. Thanks to its cutting-edge technology, flexibility and commitment to sustainability, it meets the highest demands of modern laboratories.
