Product Description
When it comes to accurate viscosity measurements, precision is non-negotiable. Our viscosity standards (cSt) provide reliable calibration for your lab instruments, ensuring consistent and traceable results. Whether you’re validating a new viscometer or maintaining quality control in research, these standards deliver certified viscosity values at key temperatures—28000 cSt at 20°C, 17000 cSt at 25°C, 6000 cSt at 37.78°C, 5100 cSt at 40°C, and 2500 cSt at 50°C.
Designed for professionals who demand accuracy, these standards are ideal for pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and academic labs. Each batch is rigorously tested to meet international standards, so you can trust the data every time. Need a dependable viscosity standard for your lab? Buy online today and ensure your measurements are always on point.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of precision in scientific work. That’s why we source only high-quality reference materials from trusted brands like Avantor. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, our viscosity standards help you achieve reproducible results without compromise.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of viscosity standards?
When stored properly in a sealed container at room temperature, these standards typically remain stable for 2–3 years. Always check the certificate of analysis for the exact expiration date.
Can I use these standards for both capillary and rotational viscometers?
Yes, these standards are suitable for calibrating most viscometer types, including capillary (Ubbelohde, Cannon-Fenske) and rotational (Brookfield) models. Refer to your instrument’s manual for specific guidelines.
How do I know which viscosity standard to choose for my application?
Select a standard with a viscosity close to your sample’s expected range. For example, if you’re testing motor oil at 40°C, the 5100 cSt standard would be ideal. For thicker fluids like grease, the 28000 cSt standard at 20°C is more appropriate.
Are these standards traceable to NIST or other international standards?
Yes, Avantor’s viscosity standards are manufactured under strict quality controls and are traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) or equivalent international standards.
Do I need to recalibrate my viscometer frequently?
Recalibration frequency depends on usage and industry requirements. For critical applications, monthly or quarterly checks are recommended. For general lab use, recalibrating every 6 months is a good practice.
