About This Product
The sample is filled to the level shown by the gauge in the cup, the surrounding bath is heated to hold the test temperature, and the time taken for 50 ml to run out through the jet is recorded. The method applies to petroleum products that flow as Newtonian liquids, with cut back bitumen and road oils excepted. Educational institutions use it alongside petroleum laboratories, refineries and research organisations. School Educational Instrument can supply the Redwood Viscometer Apparatus to schools and colleges in São Tomé and Príncipe, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Benin and Eswatini.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Redwood Viscometer measure?
The flow time for 50 ml of sample through the stainless steel jet at the set temperature, used to determine the viscosity of petroleum products that flow as Newtonian liquids. Cut back bitumen and road oils are excluded.
Can it be heated without mains electricity?
Yes. Besides electrical heating for 220 Volts 50 Hz AC mains, a gas heating arrangement is offered.
