Hercules Hi-Shear Viscometer, Model DV-10
Optional Items

8800 RPM modification will allow an increase of 33% in shear rate (up to 185,000 sec-1) over the standard DV-10 model.

Three design changes have greatly improved the speed and ease of use, as well as, avoiding the possibility of damage to the torque sensor. First, we have added a fill line etched on the inner wall. This eliminates the step of using a dip stick in determining the proper sample level. Secondly, the new cup design allows the easy placement into and removal from the cupholder while maintaining the tight tolerances required for precision testing. This innovative design prevents binding between the cup and cupholder that is sometimes common in a dusty environment. Third, we have increased the wall thickness to twice that of the standard cup making it more durable. Request More Information

The Infrared (IR) Temperature Sensor measures the heat generated during viscosity tests on the Hercules model DV-10 Hi-Shear Viscometer. The sensor system includes a special viscometer test cup fitted with a unique crystalline window, an IR probe and a power/thermocouple control box. Request More Information

The TC-1 Heater is a jacketed electric heater which is placed over and around the cup and bob assembly. This stand alone unit does not currently interface with WinShear nor the DV-10 viscometer, as of yet. The controller utilizes PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) which enables the unit to suppress overshoot, and allows the process warm up to be tuned independently from the steady-state operating conditions.
(Recommended operating range: 50° to 150°C ±1°C.) Request More Information

Calibration Kit The Calibration Kit eliminates the use of calibration fluids at an exact temperature. The kit includes an ASTM certified weight and mounting hardware. The weight is attached to the cup and hung over the side of the instrument. The force applied to the cup is converted into centipoise and entered into WinShear which sets the gain of the torque sensor. This setting is stored in the viscometer indefinitely or until it is re-calibrated.
