Saybolt Viscometer
Saybolt viscometer is an instrument that is used to determine the fluidity or viscosity of a liquid. In simple terms, the saybolt viscometer measures the resistance of fluids to gradual deformation due to shear or tensile stress. Widely used in the petroleum industry, the saybolt viscometer has an inbuilt digital meter to enable accurate measurements. Furthermore, these have simplified controls that allow operators to change test parameters quickly with only the push of a switch. The saybolt viscometers are apt for correctly measuring viscosity of various fluids, whether it be of low viscosity, medium viscosity or high viscosity. These are available in different technical specifications at market competitive rates.
Why Measure Viscosity ?
Viscosity measurement is mandated because it tells how the fluid will behave or react during an experiment.
Also because it helps to figure out the correct production and transportation process of the fluid.
To determine pump ability and pour ability of oil and other liquids.
Viscosity measurement of fluids is also done to make sure different batches are consistent in quality.
Construction and Working Principle :
The saybolt viscometer generally has a vertical cylindrical chamber filled with liquid whose viscosity is to be measured. The vertical cylindrical chamber is surrounded by a constant temperature bath. Also, a capillary tube is attached at the bottom of the chamber.
For measuring the viscosity of the fluid filled in the vertical chamber, the stopper at the bottom of the tube is removed and the time taken for 50 to 60 ml (usually) of the fluid to flow is assessed. The time taken can also be referred as saybolt seconds which determines the viscosity of aforesaid fluid.
Salient Features of Saybolt Viscometers :
These are easy to operate and appreciated for their accurate display of results.
The saybolt viscometers have a long service life and are most commonly used for measuring the viscosity of bitumen emulsions, oils, paints, syrups and varnish.
The viscometers have tailored test routines to emulate industry leading test standards.
Ergonomic design for better handling and maintenance.
Capability for sample volume and micro volume testing as well.
