Product Overview
This viscosity standard is a high-precision reference fluid designed for calibrating viscometers and verifying instrument accuracy across a range of temperatures. Formulated with tightly controlled kinematic viscosity values—110 cSt at 20°C, 87 cSt at 25°C, 48 cSt at 37.78°C, 44 cSt at 40°C, and 30 cSt at 50°C—it ensures reliable and reproducible measurements in laboratory settings. The fluid is manufactured under stringent quality controls, adhering to analytical-grade purity standards, and is traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) for uncompromised accuracy. Its stable composition minimizes evaporation and degradation, providing long-term consistency for repeated use. The 500 ml pack size offers sufficient volume for routine calibration without excessive waste, while the liquid form allows for easy dispensing and handling. Whether used in research, quality control, or industrial applications, this viscosity standard delivers the precision required for critical measurements, reducing variability and enhancing data integrity.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this viscosity standard?
The viscosity standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored in its original, tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
2. Is this viscosity standard compatible with Cannon-Fenske viscometers?
Yes, this standard is fully compatible with Cannon-Fenske viscometers, as well as other capillary viscometer types, provided the viscosity range matches the instrument’s specifications.
3. Can this be used as an alternative to Brookfield viscosity standards?
While this standard provides certified cSt values, compatibility with Brookfield viscometers depends on the specific model and its calibration requirements. Always verify the viscosity range and instrument guidelines.
4. How should this standard be stored to maintain accuracy?
Store the unopened bottle upright in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or contaminants to preserve its certified properties.
5. Does this viscosity standard come with a certificate of analysis?
Yes, each batch is accompanied by a certificate of analysis detailing the certified viscosity values, traceability, and purity specifications for quality assurance.
