Mooney Viscometer Mk III

• Simple mechanical system producing reliable results
• Precise digital temperature control
• 4 models to suit differing requirements & budgets Automatic operation and data recording

The Mooney Viscometer Mk III measures and records the viscosity of natural, synthetic or compounded rubber.

Conforming to international standards, the Mk III is a shearing-disc viscometer in which the rubber sample is compressed pneumatically in a cylindrical chamber formed by cavities in 2 opposing dies.

The viscosity is determined by measuring the torque required to turn the rotor inside the chamber, heated to a set temperature. As the rotor shears the sample, a torque reaction is transmitted through a worm shaft, which deflects a torsion beam. A dial gauge (analogue or digital) measures the beam’s displacement.

With its simple mechanical drive system and well-proven design, the Mk III has been in use for many years and has become the benchmark viscometer for thousands of laboratories.

Two versions are offered:

1. 
   V3/2 All digital output including PC interface
2. 
   V3/3 As V3/2 with 24 character column printer

Standard accessories
