The Petroleum Products Kinematic Viscosity Tester is a specialized instrument used to measure the kinematic viscosity of liquid petroleum products (Newtonian fluids). You determine viscosity by allowing the liquid to flow through calibrated glass capillaries at a constant temperature, measuring the flow time, and applying the capillary constant to calculate kinematic viscosity. You can also derive dynamic viscosity by combining with the liquid density. This tester is widely applied in petroleum, petrochemical, oilfield, transportation, research, and metrology sectors for quality control and scientific studies.
Application
You can use this instrument in the following scenarios:
(1) Testing petroleum and petroleum-based products.
(2) Measuring physical properties of chemical liquids.
(3) Oilfield product testing and R&D.
(4) Monitoring fuel and lubricants in railways and transportation systems.
(5) Laboratory and university research on liquid viscosity.
(6) Standardized measurements in metrology and calibration departments.
Standards
You can operate this tester in compliance with the following standards:
(1) GB/T 265-2017 – Petroleum Products: Determination of Kinematic Viscosity.
(2) ASTM D445-2020 – Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids (for dynamic viscosity calculation).
(3) ISO 3104:2021 – Petroleum Products: Determination of Kinematic Viscosity.
(4) IP 71:2020 – Petroleum Products: Determination of Kinematic Viscosity.
