Viscometers
Viscometers are measuring devices made for the detection of robustness, also called viscosity, of different liquids. Viscometers are mostly used in laboratories and process regulation and control. To detect viscosity there are several types of viscometers. They are diverse in their functional principle. Today, there are a lot of viscometers on the market in several designs and for several demands. There are standard viscometers for 1-point measurement. Theses viscometers are portable and made for stationary use as well as for measurements that depend on a fixed place. Stationary viscometers also build a huge segment in this field. Stationary viscometers are mostly really complex and rheological measuring systems that require a detailed determination of liquids. Usually viscosity is associated with viscosity in shearing. Another possibility is to measure viscosity with the help of extensional viscosity. We offer several viscometers for a lot of operations.

Enclosed you will find a listing of the most common viscometers:

Glass capillary viscometers: The viscosity detection with this viscometer is performed due to the test fluid flowing through a thin glass tube. A presetted fluid volume therefore flows in a predetermined time at stable pressure through a tube, which also has a determined length and a predefined calibre. Thus a reference value can be identified due to which the kinematic viscositiy can be calculated.

Rotational viscometers: The torque is a very important indicator to determine the viscosity. In the fluid an object is turned by a small engine. Simultaneously the torque is measured by the viscometer. Due to a continuous turn, the shape of the object, the rotational speed and the size of the container the viscometer can calculate the dynamic viscosity of the fluid. Typical shapes of such objects are for example a cylinder in the tube

Stabinger viscometer: The stabinger viscometer is a relatively new viscometer, which was only introduced to the market in the current millenium. It is a modification of the rotational viscometer. An inner, hollow cylinder of the stabinger viscometer is lighter than the test fluid and therefore swims centralized and loose in the probe.
