Description
VAN-SP-5 vane spindle is a specialised measuring spindle that enables viscosity determination of suspensions in the laboratory. The vane geometry is designed to interact effectively with particulate or multiphase samples where conventional disc or cylinder spindles may be less suitable. This single accessory from manufacturer IKA supports rotational viscometry workflows that require reliable characterisation of suspended solids in liquid media. Supplied as one piece, the VAN-SP-5 integrates into compatible viscosity measurement setups as a dedicated tool for suspension testing. Its compact construction and low net weight of 0,028 kg make it convenient to handle, exchange and store alongside other spindles. Laboratories working with paints, slurries, food dispersions, pharmaceutical suspensions or similar multiphase systems can use the vane spindle to obtain meaningful viscosity data under controlled shear. The design focuses on practical sample engagement rather than free-flowing Newtonian liquids, extending the range of materials that can be assessed with standard rotational instruments. Packaging dimensions remain compact for efficient bench and inventory management.

Questions about VAN-SP-5, Vane spindle
What is this article?
VAN-SP-5, Vane spindle 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.
