Introduction
A Krebs Stormer viscometer measures viscosity of paints and coatings. It is widely used in coating industries. The system ensures rheological evaluation. It solves subjective viscosity estimation. By providing standardized rotation testing, it supports quality control.
Standards
ISO 3219:1993-Plastics-Determination of viscosity using a rotational viscometer with defined shear rate
ASTM D2196-20-Standard Test Methods for Rheological Properties of Non-Newtonian Materials by Rotational Viscometer
Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.
Features
1. Memory programs store methods and limits.
2. Automatic calculations and pass limits speed quality checks.
3. Clear display shows viscosity, speed and temperature.
4. Data export and reporting options support quality records.
5. Bench and portable models fit laboratory and line use.
FAQ
What are the main applications of the Krebs Stormer Viscometer?
The Krebs Stormer Viscometer is used to measure the viscosity or flow behaviour of fluids. It supports formulation, batch consistency and quality control in paints, oils, food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and cosmetics.
What standards does the Krebs Stormer Viscometer comply with?
The instrument is designed with reference to applicable ISO, ASTM and GB/T standards for viscosity measurement and IEC 61010 electrical safety. Procedures should follow the relevant standard method. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.
How long is the warranty period?
The system is covered for 12 months after shipment, including the main mechanism and electrical controls. Replaceable consumables and routine service items are not part of the warranty. Faults caused by improper installation outside the manual or unauthorised modification are not covered.
Will staff need special training?
Routine operation is straightforward and is covered in the user manual, including setup, daily use and basic maintenance. Staff with basic laboratory experience can run it after a short familiarisation. We provide remote guidance and can arrange on-site training where required.
How long does delivery usually take?
Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
Does the Krebs Stormer Viscometer need calibration or verification?
Factory calibration is included, and routine verification is recommended every 6 to 12 months using suitable reference materials. Regulated sites may require more frequent checks and documented records. Calibration support and certificates can be provided on request.
Where do we get replacement parts?
Common consumables and standard spare parts are available through our service channel and are not locked to proprietary formats. Quote the model and serial number when ordering so the correct items are supplied. Lead time for standard parts is usually short.
Can it be adapted to our requirements?
The standard model can be configured with selected accessories and operating options to suit the task. Non-standard requests are assessed before quotation so the final build is clearly defined. We confirm details before production.
Is installation and commissioning included?
Most models can be commissioned by following the manual, including positioning, connections, checks and a first test run. Remote guidance is available during start-up. On-site installation, commissioning and training can be arranged separately where required.
What maintenance and safety points matter?
Do not use samples outside the viscosity range, introduce bubbles or use damaged spindles. Control temperature, since viscosity is temperature dependent. Follow the operating instructions.
