Description
T-SP-4, T spindle 4 is an individual T-spindle for rotational viscosity determination of non-flowing samples. The spindle functions only when combined with the motorised HELISTAND stand and the appropriate nut and coupling. The complete T-SP-SET with nut and coupling is supplied as part of the HELISTAND set and all ROTAVISC HELI packages. In conjunction with the HELISTAND, T-spindles are particularly effective for measuring materials that do not flow under gravity, such as creams, pastes or gelatin. Provided as a single piece from manufacturer IKA, the T-SP-4 lets laboratories replace or add spindles to an established HELISTAND setup. Typical applications cover quality-control and formulation tasks in cosmetics, food technology and pharmaceutical research, where consistent data on semi-solid and highly viscous products are needed. Its geometry facilitates controlled immersion and movement through the sample matrix driven by the motorised stand, yielding reproducible results for non-Newtonian systems routinely examined in laboratory rheology.

Questions about T-SP-4, T spindle 4
What is this article?
T-SP-4, T spindle 4 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Viscometers, inside Density & viscosity measurement, in Lab instruments.
A capillary viscometer times the flow of a liquid through a tube. A rotational viscometer twists a spindle in the liquid. Both need a stated temperature. Kinematic and dynamic viscosity are different numbers. The capillary size has to put the flow time in the range the method allows.
Density is mass divided by volume. A hydrometer floats at a depth that depends on the density of the liquid. A pycnometer is a vessel of known volume that is weighed full. Viscosity is the resistance to flow. A capillary viscometer times how long a volume takes to fall through a tube. Both measurements need a stated temperature, because liquids change density and viscosity as they warm. The units trace to the BIPM and to NIST.
