Electromagnetic Spinning Viscometer (EMS-1000S)

The EMS viscometer employs a new viscosity measurement principle. The sample is placed into a sample container, a sphere is inserted into the container, and then the container is placed into the EMS viscometer.
The measurement by the electromagnetic spinning sphere viscometer involves observing the viscosity of a liquid through the rotation of a sphere driven by electromagnetic interaction. Two magnets are attached to the rotor to create a rotating magnetic field. The sample is placed in a measurement tube, which contains a sphere. The tube is housed in a temperature-controlled chamber, with the sphere positioned at the center between the two magnets. The rotating magnetic field induces eddy currents in the sphere. The resulting Lorentz force generates torque between the magnetic field and the eddy currents, causing the sphere to rotate. The rotational speed of the sphere depends on the rotational speed and strength of the magnetic field, as well as the viscosity of the sample surrounding the sphere. The motion of the sphere is monitored by a video camera.

Main Features of the Electromagnetic Spinning Viscometer (EMS-1000S):

1. Wide temperature range: 0～200°C, ±0.1°C, within 10 minutes (25°C→200°C).
2. Broad measurement range: 0.1～100,000 mPa·s (when using a Φ2mm sphere).
3. Fast measurement speed: approximately 1 second for viscosities below 100 mPa·s, about 1 minute for 10,000 mPa·s.
4. Flow property evaluation: shear rate range of 0.01～150 s?1, flow curve evaluation via rotational speed.
5. Minimal sample volume: standard 300 μL, with an optional 90 μL sample container for viscosity testing.
6. Excellent sealing: sealed tube prevents sample evaporation and errors. Sample can be recovered and reused.
7. Very easy operation: place the sample and sphere into the tube, then insert the tube into the instrument for testing.
8. No cleaning or maintenance required: uses inexpensive, disposable sample tubes and spheres, eliminating post-test cleaning.
