What is the Visco 88?
Introduction
The Visco 88 is a portable, easily-handled viscometer for laboratory, plant and field
use. Because of its wide selection of measuring systems, the Visco 88 is extremely
suitable for demanding product and process control situations where precision is
required.
In addition to standalone use, the Visco 88 can be controlled by a connected com-
puter. The computer can run the Bohlin software which allows pre-programmed
measurements, as well as data processing and graphic layout of results. Use of this
software is described in
Chapter 5 .
