(BYK-Gardner USA: Columbia, MD) -- BYK-Gardner USA, a worldwide partner of the automotive, paint, and plastics industries for quality control of color, appearance, and physical properties, has announced its own product line of cone and plate viscometers, marking a significant stride in its commitment to quality and precision.

These new models, designed and manufactured by BYK-Instruments, will include both high- and low-temperature units, each backed by Lite firmware options. They feature a robust direct-drive motor as well as an electronic cone lift, ensuring precise and consistent results every time. The byko-visc CP cone and plate viscometers require only small sample volumes and can apply high shear rates in a defined measurement geometry, providing absolute viscosity values for comparable and reproducible results.

“BYK Instruments, being no stranger to innovation, now manufactures its own byko-visc CP cone and plate viscometers after 20 years of being a trusted provider of privately labeled OEM versions,” says Sebastian Wagner, PTE product manager at BYK-Gardner.

The new product line includes byko-visc CP L (5–75°C) and byko-visc CP H (50–235°C) along with fixed-speed models byko-visc CP Lite L, byko-visc CP Lite H, and additional cones. They offer the same intuitive, easy-to-use interface that users enjoy with BYK-Instruments.

Features

• Fixed cone geometries allow for absolute viscosity determination
• Built-in temperature control; no additional thermal systems needed
• Small (<2 mL) sample sizes save both material and time required to clean instrument
• Precise shear rates from a robust direct-drive motor design make it ideal for non-Newtonian samples
• Measure high and low shear applications with one instrument
• Switch cones without the need for recalibration
• Bayonet coupling for easy cone attachment

What sets these byko-visc CP cone and plate viscometers apart is the BYK Instruments quality, design, engineering, and manufacturing that go into every unit. The technologically advanced instruments are accurate, repeatable, intuitive, and easy to use.

“Choosing BYK Instruments means you’re not just buying a product; you’re investing in reliable support, unparalleled service, and ongoing knowledge support,” Wagner says. “We make things easy for our customers, saving them time and reducing mistakes. It’s the best value for the money on the market.”
