Thermo Haake RV1 Rotational Rheometer System for Fluids
Western Analytical Solutions, LLC

The Haake RV1 RotoVisco is a rotational viscometer / rheometer
specifically designed for quality control and research for fluids,
slurries, pastes, gels, creams and suspensions.
The instrument is modular regarding temperature control
systems, ranging from liquid temperature controlled cylinder
systems to Peltier temperature controlled parallel or cone and
plate systems.
The HAAKE RotoVisco 1 combines outstanding design and
modern industrial manufacturing. Its frame is made from polymer
concrete, a compound which guarantees high mechanical
stiffness, high vibration damping, fast temperature equilibration
and good resistance against solvents.
A rotational speed is preset and the flow resistance of the
sample is measured (torque required) to maintain the set speed,
which is proportional to the viscosity.
The rheometer will measure samples from thick to thin, such as
oils, paint, ceramic slurry, pastes, creams, PVC plastisols, or
mineral slurries.
The RV1 is computer controlled using the RheoWin software and
provides flow curves, yield points, time curves, and temperature
curve results.
