MSK-SFM-VT2 Digital Battery Slurry Viscosity Tester with Temperature Monitoring
The MSK-SFM-VT2 is engineered to accurately measure the viscosity of battery electrode slurries, a critical parameter influencing the quality and uniformity of electrode coatings on current collectors. Maintaining optimal slurry viscosity ensures consistent coating thickness and performance in battery manufacturing. This instrument is also applicable to other fluid or paste materials with viscosities ranging from 10 mPa·s to 100,000 mPa·s, making it versatile for various laboratory viscosity testing needs.
The tester employs a digital display for real-time viscosity readings and includes an immersion temperature sensor to monitor sample temperature during testing, which is essential for accurate viscosity characterization. The device features adjustable rotational speeds and four types of testing spindles, allowing adaptation to different sample viscosities and testing conditions. The minimum sample container requirements are a beaker diameter greater than 70 mm and height exceeding 125 mm, with spindle markings indicating minimum sample height for reliable measurements.
