Product Overview
This viscosity standard is a high-precision calibration fluid designed to ensure accurate measurements in viscometers and rheometers. The fluid is formulated to provide exact centistoke (cSt) values at multiple temperature points—8400 cSt at 20°C, 5300 cSt at 25°C, 1900 cSt at 37.78°C, 1600 cSt at 40°C, and 810 cSt at 50°C—making it ideal for laboratories requiring strict adherence to viscosity specifications. The calibration-grade fluid is manufactured under controlled conditions to maintain consistency, traceability, and long-term stability. Its low volatility and resistance to thermal degradation ensure reliable performance across repeated testing cycles. The 500 ml pack size offers sufficient volume for routine calibration without excessive waste. Compatible with most capillary, rotational, and falling-ball viscometers, this standard meets international quality benchmarks for viscosity reference materials.
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 sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
2. Can this standard be used with automated viscometers?
Yes, the fluid is compatible with automated viscometer systems, provided the instrument is designed to handle Newtonian fluids with similar viscosity ranges.
3. Are there lower-viscosity alternatives available for calibration?
For lower viscosity requirements, standards with cSt values below 1000 at 40°C are available, including options like 500 cSt, 200 cSt, and 100 cSt fluids.
4. How should this standard be stored to maintain accuracy?
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place between 15°C and 30°C. Avoid exposure to temperature fluctuations or contaminants that could alter the fluid’s properties.
5. Is this standard traceable to national or international references?
The viscosity values are traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) or equivalent international standards, ensuring metrological reliability for lab applications.
