How does the Sheen Rotothinner work?
It’s a simple enough process to generate a highly accurate fluid viscosity measurement using our Rotothinner viscometer.
First up you fill a container with sample fluid which is positioned on a magnetic ring mounted on top of the base.
Next you submerse the spindle in the sample fluid by lowering the handle. At the lowest point the spindle starts rotating with a set constant speed.
The display quickly and easily shows the actual fluid viscosity measurement in poise. If you need a measurement from a more structured material then it takes a little longer as the spindle applies shear. This influences the reading and it’s the reason for the reading presets the Sheen Rotothinner offers.
