UL Adapter

The UL adapter acces­sory is used to make accu­rate and repro­du­ci­ble mea­sure­ments with low vis­cos­ity, New­to­nian and non-New­to­nian mate­rials.

  • Takes mea­sure­ments as low as 1 cP
  • For any model rota­tio­nal vis­come­ter
  • Only 16 ml of sam­ple needed, save on sam­ple cost

This adapter is most com­monly used with the LV series instru­ments; at 60 RPM, these mod­els have full scale range of 1-10 cP with the UL adapter.
The UL adapter con­sists of a pre­ci­sion cylin­dri­cal spin­dle rotat­ing inside a machined tube. Its rhe­o­log­i­cally cor­rect geome­try pro­vides the high­est accu­racy of vis­cos­ity and shear rate. The tube has a remov­able end cap and thus can be used in a beaker or tank when open. With the cap in place, the closed tube holds 16 ml of sam­ple and can be immersed in a tem­per­a­ture bath or with the PV-8320 water jacket for pre­cise tem­per­a­ture con­trol from (-15 to 100 °C).
All immersed parts are stain­less steel while the remov­able cap is LDPE.
