Automatic Kinematic Viscosimeter
Kinematic viscosity refers to the measurement of a liquid’s internal friction force when flowing under the influence of gravity. It is the ratio of its dynamic viscosity to its density at the same temperature. Kinematic viscosity is a key physical and chemical parameter used to determine the grade and quality of oil products.
The fully automatic kinematic viscosity tester is suitable for measuring the kinematic viscosity of both transparent and opaque liquids, including crude oil, light and heavy fuel oil, lubricating oil, additives, and waste oil. It is also effective for measuring the kinematic viscosity of samples with high wax content or those containing non-melting components at room temperature. Typically, the measurement range of kinematic viscosity is as follows:
0.5–6000 cSt (mm²/s) at 40°C
1–2000 cSt (mm²/s) at 100°C
Each viscometer has a viscosity measurement range spanning 100 times its base value.
In practical applications, selecting lubricating oil with the appropriate viscosity ensures the normal and reliable operation of mechanical equipment. This instrument is widely used in industries such as power, petroleum, chemical, commercial inspection, and scientific research.

FAQ
Q: What are the hazards of abnormal viscosity of insulating oil to transformers?
A: Excessive viscosity, poor oil fluidity, slow heat dissipation, equipment temperature rise exceeding standards, and accelerated insulation aging; Low viscosity can cause oil cracking and deterioration, decrease insulation stability, and easily lead to partial discharge and insulation failure.
Q: Why does viscosity testing require precise constant temperature?
A: The viscosity of oil products is extremely sensitive to temperature, and small temperature fluctuations can lead to significant deviations in viscosity values. It is necessary to strictly lock in the national standard temperature to ensure data consistency and comparability.
Q: What equipment is used for viscosity testing of lubricating oil in chemical units? A: The Wuhan UHV automatic kinematic viscosimeter is temperature controlled, precise, efficient in detection, and stable in data, suitable for measuring the kinematic viscosity of various industrial oils in the chemical industry.
Q: Is the environmental detection data accurate for large temperature changes? A: The device is equipped with a closed-loop constant temperature system, which is not affected by external temperature fluctuations, and the detection data is always accurate and stable.
