Capillary viscometer

A capillary viscometer is a special instrument used to find out how thick or thin a liquid is. This measurement is called viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of the ease with which a fluid flows. Honey is thick and runs slow, water is thin and run fast. A drop that is sufficiently viscous won't wet the robot body, so the droplets don't mix together when they collide. Viscosity is an important concept, and one with many applications. We all know how important it is to have precise liquid measuring tools, so take a look at ZONWON's Viscometers. That is why we specialize in making dependable capillary viscometers that can assist individuals and businesses across multiple industry get the right measurements.


How to Choose the Best Capillary Viscometer for Your Needs

By a capillary viscometer time of flow of a liquid through the narrow tube is measured and based on that the viscosity of the liquid is derived. The concept is really very simple: thicker materials like honey or molasses take longer to flow. Consider the case where you are trying to pour syrup through a stirrer in a coffee cup. It doesn't flow as easily as water because syrup is very viscous. In a capillary viscometer, the level of the tube in which you want to measure the liquid is filled with the liquid, and then it is seen how fast it flows. Generally, this tool has two marks on the tube. One of them indicates the liquids starting point, and the other shows the finishing point. The longer the distance that a certain amount of liquid covers from mark A to mark B time, wise, the more you can infer about its thickness! If a liquid is more viscous, it will take longer to flow. The fact that it can be used for other liquids, like oils, paints, and even some food products is what makes it so attractive. At ZONWON, we always use the best materials for the production of our viscometer capillary so that they remain accurate, no matter what the conditions are.
