Simple and precise measuring principle
|
|
The AMVn measuring principle is based on Stoke's law. The viscosity of a liquid is determined by measuring the rolling ball time between a fixed distance. The time is measured fully automatically by two inductive sensors making it possible to measure opaque samples without problems. The variable inclination angle of the Peltier-thermostatted capillary allows shear stress / shear rate variation and easy repetition of measurements.

Beer &
wort
|
|
One instrument, many different applications:
The AMVn is used in breweries and malthouses to measure the dynamic viscosity of congress wort, which is a standard parameter specified in the MEBAK handbook. The AMVn wort viscosity measuring assembly is fully MEBAK approved.

Ink
|
|
Large well-known ink jet manufacturers use the AMVn to check the viscosity of ink jet inks to improve product quality.
|
| |
Polymer
solutions
|
|
Use the AMVn to determine the intrinsic viscosity of polymer solutions and calculate the average molecular weight via the Mark-Houwink equation (e.g. for recyclable PET plastics).

Pharma- ceutical / biological
|
|
The AMVn is also ideally suited for tasks with small available sample volume i.e. blood plasma, liquid crystal, biological and pharmaceutical fluids.
