Glass Capillary Viscometer ViscoClock
Beginner's capillary viscometer viscoclock for automatic viscosity determination / 
absolute and relative viscosity / high accuracy / schott glass capillary viscometer

The capillary viscometer viscoclock is customized for application of an ubbelohde-, a micro- ubbelohde- or micro-ostwald-viscometer. This capillary viscometer is applicable in any transparent thermostat. A manual measurement with a stop watch and a trained eye becomes dispensable with this glass capillary viscometer since time is money and it is better safe than sorry. The viscoclock is an electronic horologe to detect absolute and relative viscosity. It consists of a stand to hold the viscometer and an electronic measurement unit. Both measurement levels are integrated in the stand that is made of high quality PPA synthetic material while the electronic measuring unit is placed in a PP enclosure. The large LCD display enables clear legibility of the measuring data. Since the measuring procedure at the glass capillary viscometer is performed automatically, subjective measuring errors are erased. A high accuracy is then assured.

Our engineers and technicians will gladly advise you regarding the glass capillary viscometer viscoclock or all other products in the terms of regulation and control, scales and balances of PCE Instruments.

Notice: For tempering in a thermostat following tempering fluids are applicable: water, alcohol-water (e.g. ethanol. methanol), paraffin oil and silicone oil. There are only fluids to analyze that are qualified for the respectively used viscometer. An application in heat transfer fluid can result in colour change of the plastic. But it has no impact on the function and quality of the viscoclock.

Accuracy:
The most accurate method to determine the viscosity of fluids is a measurement in a capillary viscometer. The viscoclock follows that method. As accurate as quartz the flow time is detected with a resolution of 1/100 s. An accuracy of 0.01% of the measured time in order to determine the absolute and relative viscosity is indicated as incertitude with a confidence range of 95%.

Delivery content

Additional

Glass capillary viscometers matching the measuring clock viscoclock are eligible in high number respectively matching the test medium and the prospective measuring range of the viscosity.

Therefore you first have to pick a fitting type of glass capillary viscometer for the particular measuring task.

- Ubbelohde capillary viscometer, normal formation

- Ubbelohde capillary viscometer, normal formation (ASTM)

- Ubbelohde capillary viscometer, with additional tube and threads

- Ubbelohde capillary viscometer with TC sensor

- Micro ubbelohde capillary viscometer, viscometer for dilution series

- Cannon - fenske - capillary viscometer

- Ostwald - capillary viscometer

In our online shop you will find an automatic selection chart (illustrated), due to which the optimally applicable capillary viscometer is eligible and can be ordered. Besides the type, like a ubbelohde capillary viscometer with common construction, there are also always indicated the measuring range, the respective standardisation, the capacity, the temperature- application range, the physical length,…

To integrate the capillary viscometer into the measuring system we self-evidently also offer extensive equipment like for example AVS®- measuring stands or fixation frames. The measuring stands are made for automatic capture of the flow time in viscometers. They work with every serial viscometer for repeated measurements and are connectable to any of our measuring systems.
