Product Overview
This viscosity standard (cSt) is a certified reference material designed for precise calibration of viscometers and rheometers. With predefined viscosity values at multiple temperatures—1.3 cSt at 20°C, 1.2 cSt at 25°C, 1 cSt at 37.78°C, 0.97 cSt at 40°C, and 0.87 cSt at 50°C—it ensures accurate and repeatable measurements across a wide range of applications. The fluid is formulated to maintain stability over time, minimizing evaporation and degradation, which guarantees long-term reliability in laboratory settings. Its high purity and consistent composition make it suitable for use in research, industrial quality control, and instrument validation. The 500 ml pack size provides an optimal balance between usability and shelf life, reducing the need for frequent replacements while ensuring sufficient volume for routine testing. Whether used in academic laboratories, manufacturing facilities, or R&D centers, this viscosity standard delivers the precision required for critical fluid analysis and instrumentation calibration.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this viscosity standard?
The viscosity standard is stable for up to 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 routine viscometers, as well as other capillary viscometers, provided the instrument is clean and properly calibrated.
3. Are there alternatives available for higher viscosity ranges?
For higher viscosity ranges, consider standards with values such as 5 cSt, 10 cSt, or 20 cSt, depending on your specific calibration requirements. These are typically available as separate products.
4. How should this viscosity standard be stored to maintain accuracy?
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, as these conditions can alter the fluid’s properties.
5. Is this viscosity standard traceable to national or international standards?
Yes, this viscosity standard is traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) reference materials, ensuring its accuracy and reliability for calibration purposes.
