Product Overview
The viscosity standard is a certified reference material designed to provide precise and repeatable viscosity measurements across a range of temperatures. With calibrated values of 1400 cSt at 20°C, 1000 cSt at 25°C, 470 cSt at 37.78°C, 410 cSt at 40°C, and 250 cSt at 50°C, this standard ensures the accuracy of viscometers and other fluid-testing instruments. The liquid form is stable and resistant to degradation, making it suitable for long-term use in laboratory settings. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to meet international standards, guaranteeing consistency and reliability. The 500 ml pack size offers sufficient volume for frequent calibration without excessive waste. Whether used in research, industrial quality control, or educational labs, this viscosity standard delivers traceable and reproducible results, eliminating variability in measurements. Its compatibility with most viscometer models and adherence to strict manufacturing protocols make it a trusted choice for professionals requiring high-precision fluid analysis.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this viscosity standard?
The viscosity standard remains stable for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored in its original sealed container at room temperature. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain accuracy.
2. Can this standard be used with capillary viscometers?
Yes, this viscosity standard is compatible with capillary viscometers, as well as rotational and other common viscometer types. Its certified cSt values ensure accurate calibration across different instruments.
3. Are there lower or higher viscosity alternatives available?
Alternatives are available for both lower and higher viscosity ranges. For lower viscosities, standards like 100 cSt or 200 cSt are common, while higher viscosities such as 2000 cSt or 5000 cSt can be sourced for specific applications.
4. How should this standard be stored to prevent contamination?
Store the viscosity standard in its original airtight container at a stable room temperature (15–25°C). Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption or particulate contamination.
5. Is this standard traceable to national or international references?
Yes, the viscosity standard is traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) or equivalent international metrology institutions, ensuring its reliability for calibration and compliance purposes.
