WHEN a capillary-tube viscometer is used for determining the apparent viscosity of a suspension of discrete, solid particles in a liquid, it is found that the measured viscosity varies with the bore ...

In this article, we will consider what viscosity is, how it is measured and the applications of viscometry in the food and beverage industry. When a force or stress is applied to a fluid, it flows, ...

Gravimetric Capillary is the most common technique used to measure kinematic viscosity. It is temperature controlled, usually 40 ºC for single grade oils, and both 40 and 100 ºC for multi-grade oils.

Knowing the viscosity of a lubricant is critical for condition monitoring. As a result, field-based users need portable viscometers to immediately assess critical equipment while working on-site.

Kinematic viscometers have historically been of the gravity-driven glass capillary type, as specified in ASTM D446, and ...
