Digital Kinematic Viscosity Tester
Digital Kinematic Viscosity Tester
MT-KV805
The Digital Kinematic Viscosity Tester is designed in accordance with GB/T 265 Petroleum Products Kinematic Viscosity Test Method and applicable ASTM D445 test procedures.
Introduction
This digital Kinematic viscosity tester determines the kinematic viscosity of petroleum products and Newtonian liquids by measuring the time required for a fixed volume of liquid to flow through a calibrated glass capillary viscometer under gravity at a constant temperature.
It features digital temperature control and digital stopwatch timing, offering reliable and cost-effective viscosity measurement for routine laboratory analysis. It can also be used as a high-temperature constant bath for other laboratory applications.
Typical Applications
