YR-1 Yield Test Rheometer

YR-1 YieldTest Rheometer
  • Simple to Use
  • Excellent Repeatability
  • Affordable
 
The YR-1 is a revolutionary, simple-to-use, low cost alternative to complicated, full-featured laboratory rheometers. It's designed to be used right on the production floor by your technicians. Simply select a test, lower the vane spindle into the product, press "GO," and the instrument displays the result in a single shear stress number for your material's yield value.
 
Get more information from the YR-1 with a PC and "EZ-Yield" Software."
 
EZ-Yield" software (included) features a simple menu that allows you to set up 10 different test programs. Streaming data can be viewed and test data (torque vs. time, stress vs. strain) can be displayed in both tabular and graphical formats.

 

Test Parameters Include:

  • Test number and name
  • Spindle number
  • Immersion mark
  • Pre-shear (rpm)
  • Wait time before test startup
  • Run time
  • Run speed (rpm)
  • Low & high yield control limits (Pa)

 

Torque Ranges
¼RVYR-1 Suitable for beverages with pulp, and/or base material for coatings (TiO2)
RVYR-1 Suitable for lower viscosity materials such as soaps, beverages
HAYR-1 Suitable for medium viscosity materials such as ketchup, lotions
HBYR-1

Notes:    1) Pa = 10 dyne/cm²,      2) 1cP = 1mPa•s,     3) Possibility of turbulence at speeds above 10rpm may give artificially higher viscosity readings.

 

New Vane Spindle - The V-74

This small sized spindle is ideal for use in measuring samples in containers were there is only a small volume of material available, or the opening into the container is narrow.


  • Vane Length:  .463 in;  1.176 cm
  • Vane Diameter: .232 in;   .589 cm
  • SMC Value:  543
  • Accuracy: ±5% of full scale range
