CANNON 9724-G28 BS/IP/MSL Miniature Suspended Level Viscometer, Size 7, CALIBRATED

BS/IP/MSL Miniature Suspended Level Viscometers are precision instruments designed for measuring the viscosity of liquids. They are manufactured in accordance with BS (British Standard), IP (Institute of Petroleum), and MSL (Miniature Suspended Level) specifications, which indicate compliance with internationally recognized standards. These viscometers are primarily applied in laboratory settings to determine the physical properties of fluids, particularly lubricating oils, by measuring the time required for a liquid sample to flow through a suspended glass tube.

Functions and Purpose

• Viscosity Measurement: Provides accurate determination of the kinematic viscosity of liquids.

• Laboratory Standardization: Serves as a reference method in laboratory testing, particularly within the petroleum and lubricants industries.

Key Characteristics

• Miniature Design: Requires significantly smaller sample volumes compared to conventional viscometers, making it efficient for limited or valuable samples.

• Suspended Level Principle: Operates by recording the time taken for a liquid level to descend within a suspended capillary tube, directly correlating with viscosity.

• Standard Compliance (BS/IP/MSL): Demonstrates adherence to established international standards, ensuring reliability and consistency of test results, especially in petroleum-related applications.
