This test method specifies a procedure for the determination of the kinematic viscosity of liquid petroleum products, both transparent and opaque, by measuring the time for a volume of liquid to flow under gravity through a calibrated glass capillary viscometer.
Main Characteristics
The TV12LT with integrated cooling is a unique viscosity bath with a small footprint. It can be operated from -40°C up to +20°C (-40..68°F). Ranges from -40°C up to +80°C and -50°C up to +20°C are available. The TV12LT has a bath volume of only 15 liters and a unique stability. The TV12LT offers one row of four holes with lids. These openings will accommodate glass capillary viscometers in viscometer holders. A permanent LED light is located in the top plate to supply clear light and guarantees optimal visibility inside the bath. A bath overflow outlet protects from expanding bath fluid when the bath filling is too high. A bath drain is standard included. The bath is fitted with two windows of which the front panel is detachable for cleaning purposes. TV12LT is specially designed for kinematic viscosity testing of aviation fuels. The TV12LT also is suitable to calibrate thermometers or other sensors.
