Product Overview
This viscosity standard is a high-precision reference fluid designed for calibrating viscometers and ensuring accurate viscosity measurements across varying temperatures. The standard provides certified kinematic viscosity values at specific temperatures: 160 cSt at 20°C, 120 cSt at 25°C, 60 cSt at 37.78°C, 54 cSt at 40°C, and 35 cSt at 50°C. Formulated with stable, non-volatile components, it maintains consistency over extended periods, minimizing batch-to-batch variations. The fluid is chemically inert, ensuring compatibility with most laboratory equipment without risk of corrosion or contamination. Its low evaporation rate and resistance to thermal degradation make it suitable for repeated use in controlled environments. The standard adheres to international calibration protocols, providing traceability to NIST or equivalent standards for reliable benchmarking. Whether used in quality control, research, or routine instrument maintenance, this viscosity standard delivers repeatable results, reducing measurement uncertainty in critical applications.
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.
2. Can this standard be used with capillary viscometers?
Yes, it is compatible with capillary viscometers, rotational viscometers, and other viscosity measurement instruments requiring certified reference fluids.
3. Are there alternative viscosity standards available for higher or lower ranges?
Alternative standards are available for broader viscosity ranges, including lower (e.g., 10 cSt) and higher (e.g., 1000 cSt) values, depending on application requirements.
4. How should this viscosity standard be stored to maintain accuracy?
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations to preserve its certified properties.
5. Is this standard traceable to international calibration references?
Yes, the viscosity values are traceable to NIST or equivalent national metrology institutes, ensuring compliance with global calibration standards.
