New cone and plate viscometers provide absolute viscosity measurements while requiring less than 2 mL of sample material. The instruments feature direct drive technology and electronic cone lift mechanisms for consistent results across both high-temperature (50-235 °C) and low-temperature (5-75 °C) applications.

The systems include built-in temperature control, eliminating the need for additional thermal equipment. A bayonet coupling enables quick cone changes without recalibration, while the direct drive motor delivers precise shear rates for non-Newtonian samples. The viscometers accommodate both high and low shear applications in a single unit, offering versatility for various coating materials.

Available models include standard and lite versions for both temperature ranges, with fixed cone geometries for absolute viscosity determination.
