TQC Sheen Gel Strength Tester DV2400

Description

The TQC Sheen Gel Strength Tester DV2400 is a high-precision instrument engineered to measure the yield strength and viscosity of thick paints, gels, putties, and semi-solid materials. Manufactured by TQC Sheen, part of Industrial Physics, this digital gel strength tester combines modern functionality, advanced measurement accuracy, and durable design for both laboratory and industrial use.

Reliable and Accurate Gel Strength Measurement

Designed for consistency and repeatability, the DV2400 helps manufacturers and researchers evaluate the structural integrity, stability, and texture of viscous materials. Whether testing industrial coatings or food gels, this tester ensures results that meet international quality standards.

The Importance of Gel Strength Testing

Gel strength testing plays a vital role in determining the consistency, stability, and texture of materials across industries.

• In the food sector, it ensures optimal texture, processability, and shelf life.

• In pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, it guarantees formulation uniformity and product performance.

• In adhesives and coatings, it confirms batch consistency and compliance with production standards.

Enhanced Design and Performance

An evolution of the classic Sheen 414N model, the DV2400 Gel Strength Tester introduces a variable speed range (0.5–5.0 rpm) compared to the fixed 2 rpm of its predecessor, offering flexibility for diverse applications:

• Lower rpm and smaller spindles for testing thicker, more viscous products.

• Higher rpm and larger spindles for thinner or lower-viscosity materials.

This flexibility allows users to perform a broad range of tests with precision and control, improving the reproducibility of results.

How the TQC Sheen Gel Strength Tester Works

1. The 250 ml sample can is magnetically fastened onto the turntable.

2. The turntable and spring assembly, calibrated from 0–450 g/cm, measures torque response.

3. A flat paddle spindle rotates between 0.5–5.0 rpm to generate measurable torque.

4. Once the torque stabilizes, the reading indicates the yield strength of the sample.

Alternative spindle configurations are available for customized applications, making the DV2400 adaptable for a wide range of testing needs.
