The Ubbelohde viscometer constitutes a significant instrument for many laboratories. It aids scientists and engineers in determining how thick or thin a liquid is. This is known as viscosity. Viscosity matters in a number of industries — food, cosmetics and oil, to name just three. A liquid that has a high viscosity, such as honey, flows slowly; less viscous liquids like water flow with much greater ease. With the Ubbelohde viscometer you can obtain accurate readings of these properties, which makes for better products. (Companies like ZONWON create a high-quality automatic viscometer to guarantee you get accurate results to your experiments.
