- Simple to operate, offering both manual and automatic operation.
- Four lines digital display with backlight.
- Equipped with variable speed in the range from 0.5 to 5 rpm.
- Alternative paddle formats available, allowing for a wider range of viscosity products to be tested.
How the TQC Sheen Gel Strength Tester Works
A 250ml can containing the sample is magnetically fastened onto the turntable of the instrument. This turntable is loaded with a calibrated spring displaying an engraved scale of 0-450 gm/cm.
When immersed into the sample, the Gel Strength Tester’s flat (4 x 2 cm) paddle spindle (D) rotates automatically to the set speed of 0.5 – 5.0rpm. The paddle spindle drives the whole can and turntable. After a peak reading followed by a short time of stabilization, a steady torque value is indicated on the Gel Strength Tester’s scale.
