The software automatically calculates the speed of the rotor to achieve the required shear rate. It also constantly monitors both the bulk oil and cold finger temperatures to ensure they remain within the required parameters.
The rotor is directly driven by a high torque motor enabling testing of even viscous fluids.
The cold finger can be removed for weighing both before and after the test to quantify the deposited wax.
By comparing the amount of deposited wax, it is possible to establish the effectiveness of the inhibitor.
