M3500 Viscometer

Our digital, low shear, and automatic M3500A Viscometer comes with PC software. It will outlast the 6-Speed Fann® 35 Viscometer. The M3500A requires very little maintenance and no periodic calibration. So you will save even more in the long run!

Software Snap Shots
With the advent of horizontal drilling technology, low shear rate measurements of drilling fluids becomes very important. M3500a complies with all existing API standards and provides an extreme low shear rate (down to 0.01Rpm) which the oil industry has been waiting for. The new automatic data acquisition and operation features drastically improve work efficiency and minimize human errors. In addition, its sturdy metal structure will last years in the field or lab!
