Core Features
🌡️ Ultra-Precise Temp Control - ±0.02°C stability (20-100°C range)
🧪 High Throughput - 4 capillary viscometers tested simultaneously
📊 Smart Data Handling - Auto-rejects outliers per ASTM standards
🖨️ Instant Reporting - Built-in thermal printer with full test parameters
Testing Methodology
Capillary Viscometry Principle
Sample Loading - 10ml per viscometer (pre-filtered if needed)
Temperature Equilibrium - PID-controlled bath stabilization
Auto Measurement:
Optical sensors detect meniscus transit
4 repeat tests per capillary
ASTM D445 outlier rejection applied
Calculation:
ν = C × t
ν=kinematic viscosity (mm²/s), C=viscometer constant, t=flow time (s)
Multi-Test Workflow
Quick Screening
Set 1-3 repeats for fast approximate results (2 minutes/sample)
Standard Testing
4 repeats with auto-validation (5-7 minutes/sample)
Industry Applications
Petroleum Product | Test Temperature | Typical Viscosity Range |
---|---|---|
Transformer Oil | 40°C | 8-12 mm²/s |
Lubricating Oil | 100°C | 5-30 mm²/s |
Diesel Fuel | 20°C | 2-6 mm²/s |
Maintenance Protocol
🧴 Daily - Clean capillaries with petroleum ether
⚖️ Weekly - Verify with NIST-traceable standards:
S3 (4.3 mm²/s at 40°C)
S20 (18.7 mm²/s at 40°C)
🔍 Monthly - Inspect optical sensors
