Digital KU-2 Stormer-Type Viscometer

The Digital KU-2 Stormer-Type Viscometer provides a direct digital reading in Krebs units (KU), centipoise and
grams (gm). This simplifies an established test procedure of providing a readout in Krebs units, with the added advantage of an immediate calculation of the viscosity value in grams and centipoise.
• Easy to use – no weights or stroboscopic timing attachment
• Switch selectable LED digital display of Krebs units or grams or centipoise
• Allows for rapid and easy measurement of samples
• Parallel printer output for test documentation
• Instrument base fits standard pint, 1/2 pint and quart cans
• Traceable to NIST
The Digital KU-2 Stormer-Type Viscometer can be equipped with an air purge that allows the interior of the instrument to be pressurized with air or inert gas. Recommended when working in a hazardous environment.

Procedure

Samples are tested in paint industry cans that are filled to within 3/4” (20 mm) of the top.
The KU-2 Stormer-Type Viscometer operating lever has two positions:
– Up, where the spindle is stationary and the motor is off
– Down, when the spindle is rotating and measurement is occurring
Press the Hold switch at any time to freeze the display reading.
