Flow Cup Viscometer |
Instrument used to measure the viscosity of fluids by determining the time it takes for the fluid to flow through an orifice under standard conditions |
Orifice |
Aperture through which the fluid flows in the viscometer, typically standardized for consistent measurements |
Standards and Calibrators |
Reference materials and calibration tools used to ensure accurate and reproducible viscosity measurements |
Sample Containers |
Containers or cups used to hold the fluid sample during viscosity testing |
Timer |
Device for measuring the time taken for the fluid to flow through the viscometer, crucial for viscosity calculations |
Viscosity Standards |
Fluids with known viscosity values used for calibration and validation of the viscometer |
Temperature Control |
Mechanisms or accessories to control and maintain the temperature of the fluid during viscosity measurements |
Data Analysis Software |
Computer programs for analyzing viscosity data, calculating viscosity values, and generating reports |
