Viscosity

SIA_Applikation_VISKO_1.jpgViscosity is a physical property of liquids and describes the force, which is necessary for its agitation (shearing). A special case are Newtonian liquids, whose viscosity is independent on shear conditions. The most accurate instruments – and therefore the reference technique – to determine the viscosity of such Newtonian liquids are glass capillary viscometers. Some advantages are the high chemical resistance and low thermal expansion of the DURAN® glass, which results in a calibration valid for years and nearly independent on temperature.

As viscosity depends strongly on temperature, precise viscosity measurement always requires precise temperature control ±0,02°C.
Capillary viscometer are especially used for petrochemical products, in polymer analytics (viscosity number, intrinsic viscosity) and in pharmacy.
