Kinematic Viscosity

Kinematic viscosity is of primary importance in the design and selection of a wide range of petroleum products. Calibrated capillary viscometers are used to measure flow under gravity or vacuum at precisely controlled temperatures.

Viscometer Cleaning and Drying Apparatus

The viscometer cleaning and drying apparatus uses solvent and pressurized filtered air to clean up to six tubes at a time. The system is suitable for use with all types of kinematic viscometers. A pressurized air source (150psi maximum) is required. Six tube capacity For all types of capillary viscometers Built-in air filter removes particles from the air stream Available with solvent tank inc. tubing with fittings for connection to apparatus You can also visit the Koehler website for more product details by clicking on their logo below:   Contact Us ENQUIRE CALL US LIVE CHAT * Live chat opening…
