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.

Test Procedures
Fill the thermostatic bath with clean water and start the stirring motor.
Set the target temperature and wait until the system stabilizes.
Place the capillary viscometer into the clamp and inject the sample liquid.
Start timing as the liquid flows through the capillary.
Record the flow time and calculate the kinematic viscosity using the capillary constant.
Calculate dynamic viscosity by combining the measured kinematic viscosity with the liquid density.
After testing, clean the viscometers and clamps to maintain instrument hygiene.
Maintenance Information
Regularly inspect capillaries for cracks or residue.
Ensure the bath water is clean and replenished as needed.
Verify the stirring motor and heating system are functioning correctly.
Maintain the clamps and viscometer holders for secure operation.
Record all measurements and maintenance actions for traceability.
