Low Viscosity Adaptor
The low viscosity adaptor consists of a cylindrical sample chamber and is supplied
complete with spindle and are used to accurately obtain viscosity measurements, shear rate and shear stress of low viscosity materials from 1cP (mPa). The stainless steel chamber can hold a sample volume from 16-18ml (0.54 - 0.61fl.oz) and keep it at a constant specified temperature between 0°C and 100°C (32°F and 212°F).

High Temperature Adaptor
The high temperature adaptor allows precise measurement of viscosity at high temperatures. It can accurately obtain viscosity measurements, shear rate and shear stress from 1cP(mPa) up to temperatures of 200°C (392°F). The stainless steel chamber can hold a sample volume from 16-18ml (0.54-0.61fl.oz). The high temperature adaptor is ideal for use with materials such as hot resins, bitumens and oils.
Each adaptor is supplied complete with a spindle.

Helical Movement Adaptor
Some materials, such as creams, pastes and gels, do not flow easily, so standard spindles and testing methods cannot be used as they create a ‘hole’ in the material, generating invalid results.
The measuring head, when attached to the Elcometer 2300, moves smoothly up and down and automatically stays within pre-programmed limits.
This allows the needle style spindle to cut into the material, making a helical path through the sample, making the measurement of viscosity. The kit is supplied with the motor and 6 T-shaped spindles: PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, PF.
