ATS RheoSystems - MERLIN Viscometer
Manufactured by ATS RheoSystems
High Performance, Self-Contained, Rotational Viscometer
THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED
It has been replaced with the BLACK PEARL
MERLIN Viscometer is a high performance rotational viscometer capable of both steady shear and yield stress testing in a rugged, compact size footprint. Designed for performing both routine rheological tests like single point viscosity checks for QC, to complex rheological evaluation for R&D, the MERLIN Viscometer is ideal for investigating the mixing, stirring, and process flow characteristics of fluid systems.
The unit comes standard with build in Peltier Temperature Control for all measuring systems. Cone and plate, parallel plate and concentric cylinder measuring systems are included. The measuring systems employ novel “quick capture” mounting technology. The gapping mechanism is highly accurate and user adjustable.
