Viscocity, Gel Time & Pot Life

Product Details:

The “GELNORM – PVN-1” equipment consists of a control unit, a stand and a motor driven test rod. The instrument is used to measure Gel Time using two measuring methods based on DIN EN ISO 2535.

The instrument is used to measure the time required for a defined formula material (resin, accelerator, initiator), to reach a viscosity of 50 Pa*s under defined conditions.
A rod made of glass, delrin or aluminium, immersed to a defined depth is rotated in the specimen. The procedure is provided with an automatic release device for the specimen, which is held in a beaker or in a test tube.

Product Details:

The GT-S Slim Line Geltimer with integrated control and time measuring equipment is a compact solution for geltime measuring. The Geltimer is mechanically, and from the point of view of the measuring technology, identical with the standardised Gelnorm Geltimer model of which 1000 are in operation.

The compact design, the LCD lighting for the background and the blinking green button with the coloured running light in the test stamper spiral, make up a simple and conveniently arranged solution.

As a result of the modular layout the lower part of the housing can be extended to incorporate electric heating or a thermostatically controlled oil or water bath. The voltage used is 24 VAC 50 / 60 Hz obtained via a safety transformer.

Product Details:

The Geltimer GT-SP is intended for the measurement of Gelation time of reaction resins.

Features:
The instrument incorporates a switch-off mechanism that responds to pressure: the gelation time limit is reached when the measuring stamper meets a defined reaction force in the reaction resin. As a result of this automatic switch-off system, the size of resin sample employed is not limited. The dis-posable stamper of stainless steel wire carries out a defined reciprocating movement as soon as the instrument is set in operation and, when the change in viscosity is reached, a built in timer is stopped and the gelation time can be read off.

Technical Data:
Time Measurement: 0 to 99 h 59 min 59 s
Accuracy: ± 1 second / 2 hours
Reciprocating cycle: every 10 secs. (On request other times can be offered)
Operating temperature: 0 to 50 °C Storage temperature -30 to 50 °C

Der GELNORM- PDET-1 ist ein Messgerät zur Bestimmung des Aushärtungsverlaufs von Zweikomponenten - Harzsystemen. Das Messverfahren basiert auf der Bestimmung des elektrischen Leitwertes, einer Funktion, bei der sowohl elektrischer Widerstand als auch Kapazität der Harzprobe eine Rolle spielen. Mit dem Leitwert lassen sich Aussagen über den chemischen Verlauf der Härtungsreaktion machen. Gleichzeitig kann die Probentemperatur gemessen werden

Product Details:

GELNORM – MED 010 is new measuring instrument for establishment of the critical temperature (softening temperature) of fibre glass reinforcement for laminates at the point of loss of stiffness (loss of strength) in bend test specimen as a function of the temperature.

Model Med010 is the outcome of further development, to provide an extremely economical means for the thermo mechanical analysis similar to the “conventional” examination of the TMA of laminate material. The critical temperature measured is an important parameter which shows good correlation with the TMA established by method B in accordance with DIN EN 61006 – IEC 1006.

3 Channel System: Control Unit with Temperature Measurement, incl. Software Software

The Gelnorm®– Geltimer PTC-3 evaluates all factors which influence the gel time of reaction resins such as type and quantity of hardener, accelerator, inhibitor, filler, pigments, as well as temperature and moisture. The instrument is extremely easy to operate and normally needs no maintenance.

The principle of measurement of Gelnorm®– Geltimer is simple: A stamper made of aluminium or stainless steel performs an up-down cycle in a test tube filled with resin. When the point of gelation is reached, the test tube is pulled up by the stamper. This stops the clock which was started at the beginning of the experiment and the gel time can be read of.

With the probe temperature system the exothermic reaction can be measured. With the optional temperature controller PTT-3 and electric heating Block GT the sample mixture can be heated up and controlled.

Key features:

The easiest-to-use rotational viscometer – unpack and measure

Setup takes less than two minutes: ViscoQC comes preassembled and includes an SOP booklet with first steps and straightforward user training. Our rotational viscometers guide you from startup through the entire measurement process via an intuitive user interface. Continue to use the SOP methods of your existing rotational viscometer: ViscoQC uses the same instrument setup and measuring settings to deliver the same results. Spindles with magnetic coupling for easy, fast, and safe spindle exchange come as standard.

Full traceability for reliable viscosity tests

 

Make your viscosity measurements error-proof and 100% traceable with our unique Toolmaster™ feature: spindles are automatically detected by the viscometer as soon as they’re attached. With ViscoQC 300, you can further restrict each method to a unique spindle identity. Furthermore, all connected accessories are detected and documented as well:
Built-in digital leveling automatically monitors and indicates the correct levelling status, which prevents faulty measurements and ensures remarkable, full-scale range accuracy of ± 1%. If you need to measure new formulations, ViscoQC automatically leads you to the right spindle/speed configuration using TruMode™.

The most convenient way to generate and export QC data

Every ViscoQC includes the V-Collect PC data collection software. As ViscoQC 100 doesn’t store any data, results are directly exported or printed via the Brother QL-700 label printer after each test. ViscoQC 300 has memory space for up to 999 measurements with up to 10,000 sub-measurements on 150 MB. Additionally, it’s possible to print and export data as PDF, CSV, page printer (USB or network), or label printer. For automated data export, ViscoQC 300 can be integrated into your network via Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) or FTP Server. Kickstart your paperless lab with AP Connect to connect your instruments, communicate measurement information, and ensure compliance.

Convenient operation thanks to motorized stand instead of manual height adjustment

Measure paste-like materials (e.g. mayonnaise) with helical T-bar spindle movement

Simplest spindle exchange saves up to 15 seconds per measurement

Key features

 

Saves you 15 seconds per test

 

As your new or existing formulations might require a special technique (helical spindle movement) for viscosity determination, the Heli-Plus can be easily added to your ViscoQC 100/300 setup. The simplest T-bar spindle exchange mechanism (via magnetic coupling) saves up to 15 seconds per test and is included in the standard delivery of the T-bar spindle set. The magnetic coupling further reduces ongoing maintenance costs, as the spindles and the instrument are protected against damage caused by knocks or bending. You will reduce the risk of user errors as the T-bar is automatically detected by ViscoQC for the most reliable and traceable viscosity results.

Full automation – minimum errors

 

The built-in digital leveling of ViscoQC guarantees that the Heli-Plus is automatically aligned. By digitally defining the start, immersion, and reversing positions of the motorized Heli-Plus on the screen of ViscoQC, test procedures can be fully automated. The standardization of your test procedure ensures the highest repeatability of viscosity results. Uptime during production is maximized as there is no need to repeat failed measurements due to e.g. a wrong choice for the measuring start position. Using ViscoQC and Heli-Plus will give you more time for other important tasks.
