Oil Viscosity Measuring Instrument

The viscosity index test astm d 2270 is based on the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 40 c.

Oil viscosity measuring instrument.

For more information go to our visgage applications page. In oil analysis viscosity is commonly measured using kinematic viscometers and reported in centistokes cst. 104 f and 100 c 212 f. 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.

Provide more protection to critical components over a wide range of temperatures. Oils with a high vi. Viscosity and temperature are considered to be inversely proportional. Absolute techniques typically use rotational viscometers whereas kinematic techniques will commonly use flow viscometers dependent on gravity.

Consistent use of the visgage can warn users of viscosity changes. Its small size and ease of use allows users to operate the visgage on site and obtain immediate results. Use the rod to stir the oil and then measure the force required to stir each oil at the same rate. Control box can be up to 15 m 49 ft from the measuring head.

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. 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.
