Essential Visco Tester for Quality Control

Choosing a suitable visco tester was probably really tricky but I suppose it must be quite essential for any company that makes liquid products. So, just for a minute lets consider what you actually want to test. Different products have different consistencies. For paint testers, for example, you will need a tester that is capable of thicker liquids. If you are testing a lotion, you may also want something which can handle thinner liquids. ZONWON offers different types for you to pick up depending on application. Now think about how simple the tester was to use. You want something that your employees can learn to use without too much training. A complicated tester could stop the production. Look for features such as a clear display and simple buttons

The visco tester should be of good quality since it will be regularly used in a factory environment. It should be able to survive a few falls. Price is another factor. You need that to get a tester that is at the same time of reasonable price and of good quality. ZONWON has different price ranges so you can pick an option that will be suitable for your company. Last but not least, think about customer support. In case something breaks down it is nice that the company from which you bought your equipment can help you.

Visco testers are one of the most important tools used for figuring out the viscosity of different liquids. Viscosity simply refers to how thick or thin a liquid is. The degree of viscosity of a liquid can be measured with the help of a visco tester. However, there are some problems that users of these testers have to face. One problem that might shock you is that the tester not being clean at the time of use. If an automatic viscometer is left with even a very small amount of liquid from the previous sample, it can cause the test results to be inaccurate. To avoid this, clean your visco tester thoroughly with the right materials before you start testing

Another error is using the wrong speed or temperature. Various fluids have different requirements. For example, if you are testing a viscous liquid like honey, you will probably need to use a lower speed. Refer to the instructions concerning your specific liquid before you start. Additionally, be careful when carrying the visco tester. An unstable tester will give incorrect results. Therefore, it is advisable to keep the tester over a flat surface while holding and use minimal pressure. If your results vary a lot, one reason might be the presence of air bubbles in the liquid. Bubbles may trick us into thinking that the liquid is thinner than it actually is.

It’s a important step to calibrate your visco tester properly to get the best results. If you have an uncalibrated tester, it could even display false viscosity numbers. So now how does one calibrate this ZONWON visco tester? First, you have to collect some common liquids, and know their viscosity. This means not only should you have liquids the thickness or thinness of which is already known to you. Water is a popular option: we know its viscosity at room temperature. Directly test the known liquid with your visco tester. Note the reading given by the tester. Then, compare this reading to the true viscosity of that liquid. If they do not equal, you will have to adjust your tester. The majority of visco testers include a calibration reference or procedure. For the necessary adjustment, please refer to your owner's manual to adjust the setting. It’s important to do this a couple of times – for accuracy. After calibration, test your tester regularly to ensure performance, particularly if it is dropped or relocated. A further challenge is that temperature affects the viscosity of liquids, so you have to test in a controlled environment. This will ensure consistent results over the long run. With periodic calibration of your ZONWON visco tester, you can be rest assured that the readings you obtained are accurate such that it makes your work a lot easier.
