The Viskomat NT is a versatile rotational viscometer for determining the workability of fine grained building materials such as cement paste, mortar, fine concrete, plaster etc. with maximum particle size of 2 mm. You can obtain information on:
Not only is all this information useful for the materials themselves, but tests have shown that trends established, for example, in mortar are reflected in the behavior of concrete at full scale.

The Viskomat NT, Mortar, Cement and Fine Concrete Rheometer is a true speed controlled viscometer driven by a high precision syn. Chron. motor. Each rotation is resolved within 200.000 steps. It allows ramping from 0.001 rpm to 400 rpm in both directions to record flow curves and yield points. The torque up to ±250 Nmm is measured by a special transducer.
The standard measuring system consists of a stationary probe which is mounted concentrically in a rotating cylindrical sample container. As the sample flows around the paddle the shear resistance generates a torque which is continuously monitored electronically. The paddle is mounted on a measuring head, which runs up and down automatically to allow easy filling, emptying and cleaning of the sample container.
The sample container is mounted on a speed drive shaft. The temperature is measured by a sensor located within the measuring paddles. All the electronic is housed in a separate case. One powerful microprocessor and two special signal processors do their work there. An online display shows torque, time and temperature during the measurement in a graphical way.
The electronic has an ethernet interface to any PC. With the Ethernet interface you can integrate the Viskomat NT in any TCP/IP based (100 Mbit, RJ45) network. The Viskomat NT has a built in WWW Server so any WEB browser may be used as user interface. The Viskomat NT, Mortar, Cement and Fine Concrete Rheometer can be directly operated by the PC (Linux) included, or remote controlled from any Windows (95 or higher) workplace in your local area network.
