Overview
Fungilab CV006-102 is a U-Tube Capillary Viscometer, model U-Tube Type BS/U size B, suitable for the measurement of kinematic viscosity of liquids, viscosity measurement range is 2~ 10cSt.
Features
1. U-shaped tube design, in line with BS/U standards
2.The viscosity measurement range covers 2~ 10cSt
3. Suitable for a variety of liquid viscosity determination
4. Simple structure and easy operation
Principle
At a certain temperature, when the liquid flows in an upright capillary tubing in a state of complete wetting of the tube wall, its kinematic viscosity is proportional to the flow time. When measuring, use a liquid with known kinematic viscosity as a standard, measure the time it takes to flow out of the Capillary Viscometer, and then measure the time it takes for the sample to flow out of the same Viscometer. The viscosity of the sample can be calculated.
Applications
Petroleum, chemical industry, light industry, electromechanical, national defense, transportation, coal, metallurgy, food, paper, Spinning & weaving, scientific research, institutions of higher learning
Steps
1. Use a standard liquid of known kinematic viscosity for calibrating
2. Time measurement of standard liquid from Capillary Viscometer
3. Measurement of the time for the sample to be tested to flow out of the same Viscometer
4. Calculate the kinematic viscosity of the sample according to the outflow time
Notice
• Make sure the liquid completely wetting the capillary wall
Maintain a constant measurement temperature
• Standard liquid should be calibrated before use
• Viscometers of different models correspond to different viscosity measurement ranges
