Could you tell us an overview of your company?
Customer
We are a company that manufactures chemicals. Wastewater discharged from factories must be discharged in a state that meets environmental standards. Our company's water treatment chemicals are used to purify the wastewater to a certain level.

Could you tell us the challenges you faced?
Customer
The viscosity of the medicine changes depending on the material, so viscosity management was very important. This is because the expected effects may be weakened if the viscosity is insufficient. Therefore, it was necessary to use a viscometer to keep the quality consistent.
RION Sales
There are many options for viscometers. Why did you choose the VT-06?
Customer
We considered a product from Company X, a major manufacturer that is often used for measuring the viscosity of chemical systems, but it was too expensive. But, we could not compromise on quality, so we were looking for a rotational viscometer. The rotational viscosity method has higher accuracy than other types. We chose RION's VT-06 because it is an affordable rotational viscometer with a wide range and high accuracy. Another major factor was that RION is a reliable measurement manufacturer with a long history.

What are the effects since introducing VT-06?
Customer
Since we introduced the VT-06, we have hardly produced any poor quality chemicals, and our product yield has improved. Chemicals are expensive, so being able to use them efficiently is a big advantage. In addition, we provide viscosity measurement data as proof of quality at the time of shipment, which is also very important as it gives our customers peace of mind.

What is the appeal of the VT-06?
Customer
First of all, it has high measurement accuracy. The VT-06 is a digital viscometer, and it is very convenient to know the value immediately. Another attractive feature is its low price. Also, since the parts can be replaced even if the rotor is damaged, the running costs are low even when handling aggressive substances. Because we use a variety of chemicals, the measuring container can corrode, but it is helpful that it can be easily replaced.
