Paul N. Gardner USA, worldwide distributors, producers, and designers of quality physical and inspection instruments for the paint, coatings, and related industries, announced their new offering: the byko-visc RT Rotational Viscometer.

The byko-visc RT is the instrument for precise measurement results with each test condition recorded for detailed results analysis and review. This precision is repeatable day-to-day and instrument-to-instrument thanks to BYK-Gardner’s rigorous quality control.  An ISO 17025 calibration certificate is supplied with each instrument to confirm this performance.

Joining the BYK-Gardner offering of viscosity instruments – flow cups, bubble viscometers, the digital stormer viscometer, and cone and plate viscometers – the byko-test RT now brings a comprehensive solution for customers’ QC needs.

The byko-visc RT offers an intuitive navigation, a multitude of control options, and a large capacitive color touch-screen display, which includes preset buttons to quickly recall often used measuring parameters. These benefits reduce operator time, so less time waiting and more time getting your work done. 

Available in two models, byko-visc RT and byko-visc RT Lite, each feature versatility and

compatibility with three different sensitivities and optional accessories. Measuring viscosity – lacquers, paints, primers, resins, lubricants, pharmaceuticals, creams, lotions, liquids soaps, beverages, dressings, sauces – from a near water-like, very high viscosity to even the most viscous epoxies, sealants, and pastes, the byko-visc RT line will exceed expectations.

The byko-visc RT features an easy snap-on spindle attachment saving valuable operator time while protecting the instrument, and an adjustable stand to allow the user to easily raise and lower the viscometer head. The instrument is ready right out of the box – no assembly needed!

The new line is also compatible with many other rotational viscometer models in terms of results, measurement parameters, and accessories, like spindles. This will also allow users to seamlessly transition to a byko-visc RT system.

The byko-visc RT is ideal to test the viscosity of your liquids and pastes in compliance with ASTM D2196, ISO 2555 and ISO1652 standards. With this level of precision, you can be sure that your measurements will be accurate every time.
