RPV-1 Polymer & Pulp ViscometerIntegrated viscometer system suitable for measuring the solution viscosity of a wide range of polymers dissolved in acids, solvents or water, including PA, PET, PVC, PLA, PBT, PC, PE, PP, Cellulose Acetate, Inks, Pulp, Cellulose, Electrical Papers & other.ASTM D789, D871, D1243, D1601, D2857, D4020, D4603, D1795ISO 175, 307, 1628 Parts 1 to 6DIN Norms 53726, 53727, 53728, 7744 JIS K6721
RPV-1 Systems
The PSL Rheotek RPV-1 provides a reliable and precise system for measuring dilute solutions of polymers, pulp & cellulose.
The RPV-1 automates the manual steps set out in standard methods, minimizing the variability of results.
Standard RPV-1 systems include:
● RPV-1 Polymer ● RPV-1 Pulp ● RPV-1 PP & PE (two positions)
Systems can be configured with 1 to 4 measuring positions.
Flow times are measured automatically using ASTM Ubbelohde viscometer tubes supplied with ISO 17025 certificates of calibration.
Cleaning is carried out in-situ utilizing solvents and a safe vacuum system.
The comprehensive RPV-1 software program records all measurement data as well as calculating a wide range of results.
