Viscometers

Prescott Instruments have manufactured viscometers in the UK for over 25 years, focussing on the rubber, polymer and elastomer industries. The type of viscometer most used for rubber is the Mooney Viscometer, whereby a rotor rotates at 2 revolutions per minute (RPM) within a heated, closed cavity filled with uncured rubber. Every instrument has been specifically designed to meet the needs of modern rubber testing laboratories, with ergonomic design features, advanced functionality and industry leading Labline software.

Mooney Viscometer
The Mooney Viscometer is a flagship instrument in the rubber industry that has been used to test the viscosity of uncured rubber since its invention by Melvin Mooney in 1933. The Mooneyline MV is a high-performance instrument that is suitable for testing at all stages of the rubber production process and on a variety of elastomeric compounds.
