Working Principle
The A1014 Automatic Capillary Viscometer operates based on the capillary flow method for determining kinematic viscosity. A precisely measured volume of liquid sample is introduced into a calibrated capillary tube and maintained at a constant temperature within the bath.
The instrument uses an infrared detection system to accurately measure the time required for the sample to flow between two defined marks in the capillary under gravity. The kinematic viscosity is then automatically calculated using the measured flow time and the calibration constant of the capillary.
The system integrates automatic temperature control, timing detection, data processing, and cleaning functions, ensuring high repeatability and eliminating human error during the testing process.
Applications
- Petroleum and oil testing laboratories
- Transformer oil viscosity analysis in power utilities
- Lubricant production and quality control
