Viscosity check (falling ball el.)

Features:

• measuring range viscosity: 25 - 999 cSt at 50°C
• measuring range density: 820 - 1050 kg / m3
• required sample: approx 200 ml
• measuring time: about 15 min.
• accuracy: +/- 3 %
• size: 160x260x240 mm
• weight: 15 kg

Benefits:

• only one testdevice for two important parameters
• no sample change for each test
• same test temperature (50 °C)
• re-calculating density to 15 °C
• easy to use for non trained personnel
• close to laboratorical standards

also available with:

• extended measuring range (1 - 999 cSt)
• additional measuring temperatures: (40, 50 and 80 °C)

Viscosity and density are measured in the same test tube at the same temperature. By employing the corresponding hydrometer, the density at 15°C of fuel oils will be determined.

With actual density known, it is easy to measure viscosity accurately. Simply use the same pre-heated sample and employ the falling ball principle.

Both test results give excellent reference against delivery data and allow rapid action in case of:

• off spec bunkers, and
• contaminated lube oil.
