Oil Viscosity Measuring Instrument

Use the rod to stir the oil and then measure the force required to stir each oil at the same rate.

Oil viscosity measuring instrument.

The visgage is used by companies around the world to verify oil viscosity and perform oil analysis. 104 f and 100 c 212 f. Consistent use of the visgage can warn users of viscosity changes. Control box can be up to 15 m 49 ft from the measuring head.

The rm 100 l touch viscometer is ideal for measuring the viscosity of chemical and petroleum products cosmetics and pharmaceuticals food products building materials paint ink and coatings. Its small size and ease of use allows users to operate the visgage on site and obtain immediate results. Viscosity index numbers above 95 are considered high. Provide more protection to critical components over a wide range of temperatures.

Second if your onsite instrument does not heat the oil to 40 c and most do not you are likely determining the oil s viscosity at the temperature of the onsite lab typically in the 20 c 25 c range and extrapolating again using a software algorithm to determine the viscosity at 40 c. To measure absolute viscosity insert a metal rod into the same two beakers. The force required to stir the gear oil will be greater than the force required to stir the turbine oil. Pt 100 temp sensor input 7 inch touchscreen and rs 232 and usb ports.

Viscosity can also be measured using absolute dynamic viscosity techniques and reported in centipoise. Oils with a high vi. In oil analysis viscosity is commonly measured using kinematic viscometers and reported in centistokes cst. For more information go to our visgage applications page.
