Vilastic V-E SYSTEM

A unique instrument with the ability to perform precise measurements of viscosity and elasticity of ultra thin fluids--the consistency of water--as well as thicker fluids.

Small footprint, small sample size, controlled thermal environment and portability all add versatility and power to this instrument.

Use the V-E SYSTEM to explore the properties of your liquid by measuring both the viscosity and elasticity over a wide range of values of frequency, shear stress, shear rate, shear strain, time and temperature. Once you select a measurement protocol, you can repeat it at any time with high precision because the unvarying geometry of the V-E SYSTEM eliminates the mechanical adjustments and dimensional inaccuracies of traditional rotational instruments. Computer controlled protocols and data processing mean precisely timed measurement sequences, high volume of measurements and disk storage of all results.

FEATURES

• Uses water as calibration fluid, a universal standard readily available at no cost
• Fixed tube sample geometry provides superior reproducibility
• Resident temperature sensor and clock provide record of thermal conditions and time of measurement
• Printed data tables together with screen and printer graphics give instantaneous visual presentation of results and hard copy suitable for publication
• All measurements are subjected to diagnostics for proper instrument operation
• Each measurement produces 29 parameters for rheological functions, pressure to flow relations, energy storage and loss, and thermal conditions
• ASCII files can be produced for moving selected data into third party spreadsheet and graphics software for further analysis

  Broaden and deepen your view of rheology with System Enhancements  for   extensional viscoelasticity, electrorheology, porous media and microcapillaries.
