YR-1 YieldTest Rheometer


YR-1 Yield Test 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.
VI-0351

 

 

Test Parameters Include:

  • test number and name
  • spindle number
  • immersion mark
  • pre-shear (rpm)

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