Product Overview
This viscosity standard is designed for precise calibration of viscometers, rheometers, and other laboratory instruments requiring accurate fluid flow measurements. Each standard is meticulously formulated to provide consistent and traceable viscosity values at specified temperatures (550 cSt at 20°C, 400 cSt at 25°C, 200 cSt at 37.78°C, 180 cSt at 40°C, and 110 cSt at 50°C). The liquid form ensures ease of use, while the certified reference material grade guarantees reliability and compliance with international standards. Ideal for quality control, research, and routine instrument validation, this viscosity standard maintains long-term stability under proper storage conditions. The 500 ml pack size offers sufficient volume for repeated calibrations without frequent replacements. Engineered for minimal batch-to-batch variation, it delivers reproducible results, reducing experimental errors in critical applications.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this viscosity standard?
When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, this viscosity standard remains stable for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this standard be used with capillary viscometers?
Yes, it is compatible with capillary viscometers, rotational viscometers, and other viscosity measurement devices requiring calibrated fluids.
3. Is this viscosity standard traceable to NIST or other metrology institutes?
The standard is traceable to national metrology institutes, ensuring accuracy and compliance with ISO and ASTM guidelines.
4. How should I handle spills or accidental exposure?
Wipe spills immediately with an absorbent cloth and dispose of waste according to local lab safety protocols. Avoid skin contact and use gloves when handling.
5. Are there alternatives for lower viscosity ranges?
For lower viscosity requirements, consider standards calibrated at 10 cSt, 20 cSt, or 50 cSt, available in similar pack sizes for consistency.
