User Scale 

This function allows the VISCO to display the same measurement values as a B-Type 
viscometer or other viscometer type. 
A user scale is created for each sample. 
The relationship between the measurement value from other viscometers (y) and the VISCO 
(x) is y = ax

2

+bx+c 

By inputting the viscosity measured by this device and another viscometer at three different 
speeds, the VISCO will automatically calculate the conversion factors a, b, and c. 

 

A maximum of 10 user scales can be saved. 

 

Turning the User Scale Function ON/OFF or selecting a Scale Number can be done 
from the measurement screen.

Preparation 

 
Choose three speeds that will each be used by the VISCO and the other viscometer. 
Prepare the measurement sample. 
Measure the sample at all three speeds with the VISCO and the other viscometer. 
The measurement value to enter into the VISCO is the value at which it stabilizes.

  Ensure that the sample temperatures are the same.
