Thus, both the K40 and the R-series specifications ensure the relevance of these instruments in Indonesian industries.
Features of Testron’s Viscometer in Indonesia
The Testron TT-VM-K40 viscometer, as the TT-VM R series of viscometers, both boast some extremely potent features, allowing them to have gained a significant reputation in the Indonesian painting, coating, and adhesivesindustries.
The Features of the Testron TT-VM-K40 Viscometer in Indonesia
First, let’slook into the features of Testron Group’s TT-VM-K40:
- It is designed with a calibration function: In this instrument, using standard oil, the end user can also complete calibration independently, without needing to return it to the manufacturer.
- It comes with a built-in infrared thermometer sensor that measures sample temperature, and it offers greater convenience and precision.
- It is also built with an LCD to show test results with clarity.
- It can also set test time and show real-time data.
- It also comes with an RS-232 communication port, with the ability to print test results.
- The TT-VM-K40 also comes with a self-protection function in case of over-ranging.
- Testron’s magnetic rotor system enables rapid installation, dismantlement, or cleaning and comes with a calibration certificate.
The Features of Testron’s TT-VM R Series Viscometers
Now, let’s observe some of the most crucial features of the TT-VM R series of intelligent touchscreen portable viscometers:
- All three models come with an anti-static shell and PC material lifting pole.
- The R series models have a built-in temperature probe RTD.
- They also come with an ARM chip processor, offering higher data processing speeds.
- They are designed with durable small axles.
- The models also come with a gigabit Ethernet interface that helps transfer data, in reliable and quick ways.
Alongside other key features that support the operations of this instrument in Indonesia’s painting, coating, and adhesivesindustries.
The Benefits of Testron’s Viscometer in Indonesia
Now, let’slook into the benefits of Testron’s Viscometer for Indonesian industries:
- Quality and precision: The viscometers can provide accurate viscosity measurements, which enabling industries to maintain a consistent quality and performance. The equipment can directly calculate metrics such as kinematic and dynamic viscosity, which ensures a reliable data for quality control.
- Increased safety: Automation in the Testron viscometers, such as TT-VM-K40 and the TT-VM R series viscometers, can minimize the need for direct contact with chemical ingredients, which may be hazardous. Some models can also use automatic cleaning, and further improves safety.
- Cost efficiency: Automation can also reduce labor costs and minimize material waste by enabling precision and repeatability in measurements. For example, the automated online cleaning present on some models can prevent the need for manual disassembly and reduce the risk of instrument damage.
