The NμLine Cone & Plate Viscometer is based upon the proven historical concept and long established design of the Research‐Equipment London’s (REL) Analogue Viscometer which was used as the original instrument for the BS3900 Standard.


The NμLine Cone & Plate Viscometer is a self calibrating, highly adaptable ‘At-Line’ instrument designed to give you a cost effective and robust option between delicate laboratory instruments and the lower end ‘Go-No‐Go’ type viscosity measurement devices currently on the market.

Readings can be taken at variable shear rates, using multiple speeds and at temperatures between 10°C to 230°C.

It’s rugged design continues to meet the high demands of cutting edge manufacturing environments due to both it’s reliability and it’s performance; with many new features designed to meet the diagnostic needs of modern production standards.

With process applications in the paint, varnish, inks, resins, food, bitumen, oil, adhesives and the pharmaceutical industries to name but a few the NμLine Cone & Plate Viscometer has been designed to meet these and other manufacturing markets.

Its stand alone, ‘At-Line’ capabilities are enhanced by new intuitive Windows based software, compatible with windows 7, 8 & 10, which takes on board many of the requirements that customers have, long been asking for; while still maintaining the historical foundations of the original ICI Cone & Plate instruments, on which the NμLine Cone & Plate technology is based.

With inbuilt calibration routines and service management tools all supported from our UK manufacturing facility combined with our UK and worldwide service technicians gives you the back‐up of a global organisation.
