Brand : BEVS
The BEVS 1131/360 is the high-viscosity configuration of the Intelligent Rotothinner, specifically equipped with Spindle 3 to accurately measure highly viscous Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Performing tests at a consistent high-shear rate of 562 rpm, this instrument is essential for R&D and quality control when assessing thick paints, sealants, and high-solids coatings for their application properties.
- Specialized for high viscosity materials
- Uses Spindle 3 for extended range
- Measures critical high-shear properties
− Features
- Extended High-Viscosity Range: Configured with Spindle 3, which provides the widest dynamic viscosity measurement capacity from 1 to 360 Poise (100 to 36,000 cP), accommodating the thickest industrial and protective coatings.
- Standardized High-Shear Rate: Operates at a controlled, constant rotational speed of 562 rpm±1%, ensuring the generated shear rate is highly standardized and relevant to high-speed industrial application methods.
- Precision Motor Accuracy: Ensures a high technical accuracy of ±1% of full scale and reliable repeatability of ±0.5% of full scale, crucial for stringent quality assurance of expensive high-viscosity products.
- Automatic Spindle Control: Features an automated lifting mechanism for the spindle, guaranteeing precise and repeatable immersion depth while simplifying the operator’s handling process.
- Rheological Monitoring: Enables continuous real-time monitoring of viscosity during the introduction of thinners or other additives, providing instant feedback on critical formulation changes.
- ISO/BS Standard Compliance: The instrument’s fixed shear rate aligns perfectly with the test parameters required by key international standards for high-shear viscosity determination.

+ FAQs
What is the highest viscosity value the BEVS 1131/360 can measure?
This model, using Spindle 3, is capable of measuring dynamic viscosity up to 360 Poise, which translates to 36,000 centipoise (cP).
Why is a fixed 562 rpm speed important for high-viscosity materials?
The fixed high speed ensures a constant, high rate of shear is applied. This shear rate is necessary to accurately simulate the forces that high-viscosity coatings experience during application processes like spraying or pumping.
Is the BEVS 1131/360 suitable for extremely thick materials like mastics or sealants?
With a range extending up to 36,000 cP, the BEVS 1131/360 is highly suitable for testing a wide variety of thick, high-solids materials, including many industrial coatings and high-viscosity adhesives.
If my material is slightly over 360 Poise, will the measurement be inaccurate?
Measurements slightly above the maximum range of 360 P will exceed the calibrated ±1% accuracy threshold. For materials consistently exceeding this limit, a different type of viscometer with a higher torque range would be required.
Does the instrument require a specific sample can size for this spindle?
Yes, the BEVS 1131 series is typically standardized to use a 250 ml tin can for the test sample, ensuring the sample geometry and volume are consistent for all measurements.
