Knowing the viscosity of a lubricant is critical for condition monitoring. As a result, field-based users need portable viscometers to immediately assess critical equipment while working on-site.

The new series gives manufacturers in food, energy, and petrochemicals a unified standard for quality, combining lab-grade precision with industrial-scale efficiency. With costs climbing and ...

One of the most common configurations is the “U” shape capillary of the Ostwald viscometer presented in Figure 2A. These instruments are usually operated in a thermally-stabilized bath and after the ...
