FAQ's of Dial Reading Viscometer:
Q: How does the dial reading viscometer operate for viscosity measurement?
A: The viscometer measures viscosity by rotating a spindle in the liquid sample (50-100 ml), with speed manually adjusted via a dial. The resistance encountered is displayed on an analog dial, providing a direct viscosity reading with 0.1 cP resolution.
Q: What types of samples can be tested with this viscometer?
A: This device is suitable for a variety of fluids, including oils, chemicals, and laboratory samples, across a measurement range of 10-100,000 centipoise. Its adjustable speed and temperature controls provide flexibility for different sample viscosities.
Q: When is calibration required for this viscometer?
A: Calibration is recommended before initial use, after maintenance, or if accuracy seems compromised. Regular calibration ensures precise viscosity readings, and the instrument includes a built-in calibration feature for user convenience.
Q: Where can the viscometer be installed or used most effectively?
A: Designed as a bench-top unit, this viscometer is best suited for laboratories and testing facilities where stable, accurate viscosity measurements are essential. Its portable design makes repositioning within labs straightforward.
Q: What is the process for adjusting temperature during viscosity tests?
A: The viscometer supports operation from ambient to 100C, with controlled heating facilitated by its electric power supply. You can set the desired temperature within this range to ensure test consistency, especially for temperature-sensitive liquids.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this dial reading viscometer?
