Features & Benefits

  • Continuous sensing and display in Krebs units, grams, and centipoise

  • Allows rapid sample measurement to determine required consistency

  • LED Digital Display of:
    -Krebs Units (increased resolution in 0.1 KU increments)
    -Grams (in 1 gm increments)
    -Centipoise (cP)

  • Expanded measurement range (40 to 141 KU; 32 to 1099 g; 27 to 5274 cP).

  • Accuracy to ±1% of range.

  • Reproducibility to ±0.5% of range.

  • Output to parallel printer for automatic test documentation.

  • Easy to use; no weights; simplifies an established test procedure.

  • Compatible with industry specification (ASTM D562).

  • Base accommodates standard pint, ½ pint, and quart cans.

  • Optional air purge allows interior of KU-2 to be pressurized with air or inert gas.

  • The optional paste spindle is suitable for use with high consistency materials such as roller mil pastes.

  • NIST traceable viscosity standards available

Applications

  • Paints & Coatings

  • Adhesives

  • Inks

  • Pastes

Brookfield offers a completely digital calculating Krebs Unit Instrument with all the reliability you'd expect in Brookfield instrumentation...now with relative centipoises display.

Why the KU-2?
This instrument is used widely for making viscosity measurements on paints/coatings in accordance with ASTM D562.

All Brookfield laboratory viscometers are accurate within +/-1.0% of the measurement range in use and have a repeatability with +/-0.2%. Tests can be duplicated anywhere in the world when the same model is used.
