R7B7 (R7 Sleeve B7 Bob)


The R7 Sleeve 7 and B7 Bob combination (R7B7) enhances low viscosity measurements for the M3400 Dial-Reading Viscometer and the M3600 Automatic Rheometer.

A Bob and Sleeve for Low Viscosity Measurements
Combine the R7 Sleeve and the B7 Bob to make the R7B7, which makes low-viscosity measurements 4 times better, to about ±0.1 cP at 300 RPM. The R7B7 setup is available for the M3400 Dial-Reading Viscometer and the M3600 Automatic Rheometer.

If temperature control is desired for a test, an optional heater cup is available. The heater cup for the R7B7 is larger than the standard heater cup. Click here to see the standard M3410 and M3610 heater cups.
