High-Precision Glass Capillary Viscometer Solutions

Besides that, glass capillary viscometers are also very cheaply priced. While there are lots of viscometer products that are being sold in the market, glass capillary viscometers are typically the least expensive, and yet they produce top, quality results. This is a huge factor for many labs that are trying to control their budgeted expenses. So to recapitulate, the precision and simplicity combined with its sturdiness and affordability have turned glass capillary viscometers into one of the most favored tools worldwide by labs.

Glass capillary viscometer is great instruments but sometimes they may have issues, albeit infrequently. It is very important that we are able to solve these issues so that scientists will not be hindered in the precision of their work. A liquid may fail to flow along the capillary in the glass tube quite often. This may happen if the tube is blocked or has air trapped in it. You can do this by just gently tapping the viscometer to help release any bubbles of air that could be stuck. In case the blockage is caused by the dirt or scurf attached outside of the viscometer, washing the viscometer with brush or diluent might remove the blockage.

A further problem might be that the measurements are not stable. “If you find that you get different results every time you measure the same liquid, it may be because the temperature of your sample is changing,” the thermometer-makers explain. Viscosity may be temperature-dependent, so it will be necessary to ensure that the sample is at a constant temperature during measurement. A thermometer can be used to take a temperature reading of the liquid and make sure you’re getting accurate results. If the temp is fluctuating work on keeping things stable or use a temperature control system.
