Viscometers

A viscometer is otherwise known as a viscosity meter. This device is designed to quickly and reliably determine the viscosity of fluids under laboratory and factory conditions. Viscometer is primarily used to control the viscosity of liquids during the production process, when inspecting incoming goods, as well as to ensure the high quality of the created product at the stage of marketing. The viscometer is very easy to use and has a wide range of measurement of the tested values. It has a zero point calibration function and has a digital or LED display. Viscosity measurement results are constantly displayed on the device's display while the testing process in which viscosity is determined is being carried out. Viscometers have many applications, such as in the testing of paints and varnishes, foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, liquids and other substances used in the production of plastics. Viscometers are also used in plastic surgery, which should be pointed out as a kind of curiosity. Viscometer data can be stored directly in the device and transferred to a printer or desktop computer. There are several types of viscometers available on the market - capillary viscometers, rotational viscometers, rheoviscometers and so-called comparative viscometers selected according to the needs of the person performing the tests. Capillary viscometers determine viscosity based on the time it takes for a certain amount of fluid to flow through properly calibrated capillary tubes under a known differential pressure. These are fairly uncommon devices used in the laboratory. Much more common, especially in industrial metrology, are rotational viscosity meters in which the measure of viscosity is the value of the force acting between two coaxial cylinders -and the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder rotating with respect to it, while the fluid under test fills the gap between the cylinders. Viscosity meters with a falling ball, the so-called rheviscometers, the result is given on the basis of the conversion of the speed of descent of a ball (of known dimensions and density) in the test medium under the influence of a constant external force (usually gravity), and on this basis the density of the medium is calculated. Comparative viscosity meters are used to measure relative viscosity, i.e. to determine the viscosity of the test substance relative to a standard substance of known viscosity, usually water. Rheometers can operate according to various standards, such as DIN 53019 or ISO 2555. Some of the devices can be plugged into an in-laboratory LIMS system, and the results can be exported in the form of various extensions, and in the next stage you will be able to make a number of calculations on the results obtained.We invite you to contact our company, where specialized advisors will help you choose the right device for your needs.Viscometer is otherwise known as a viscosity meter.
