A&D Weighing RV-10,000A Tuning Fork Rheometer with Tuning Fork Technology

A&D RV-10,000A Rheometer Description

The A&D Weighing RV-10,000A Tuning Fork Rheometer represents a revolutionary advancement in viscosity measurement technology, specifically engineered to overcome the limitations of conventional rheometers when analysing low-viscosity fluids below 100 mPa·s. Built upon A&D's renowned sensor technology developed for high-resolution analytical balances, this innovative instrument delivers exceptional repeatability of up to 1% of measured values even with challenging low-viscosity samples that typically produce unstable results in traditional systems. The tuning fork vibration principle allows precise shear rate control through sensor plate vibration amplitude adjustment, while the wide continuous measurement range spanning 0.3 to 25,000 mPa·s accommodates diverse fluid types from water-thin solutions to moderately viscous materials with remarkable accuracy and minimal sample interference.

Operational excellence is achieved through the RV-10,000A's rapid 20-second stabilization time and intuitive setup process that significantly reduces measurement complexity compared to conventional rheometric methods. The integrated special controller provides comprehensive automation capabilities, including programmable amplitude changes, real-time graphing of viscosity variations across time, temperature, and shear rate parameters, plus convenient data export in CSV format and graph capture as JPEG images directly to USB flash drives. Advanced features such as user calibration functions with simplified water-based calibration, precise temperature control via the included water jacket system, and corrosion-resistant titanium sensor plates ensure reliable long-term performance. The instrument's unique capability to measure fluids in motion, combined with its non-Newtonian fluid analysis specialization, makes it an invaluable tool for research laboratories requiring precise viscosity characterization of complex fluid systems.
