HEATED VISCOMETER

HEATED VISCOMETER

The Heated Oil Viscometer is suitable for measuring both fuel oil viscosity and lube oil viscosity from a wide variety of applications including diesel engines, gas and aviation turbines, gear boxes, hydraulics and fuel oils. Testing fuel oil viscosity is important for verifying that the correct grade of fuel is delivered, for calculating combustion performance, plus adjusting of fuel handling and injection systems. Viscosity of lube oil is the most important property with the correct viscosity providing optimum film strength in system clearances, with minimum friction losses and leakage.

Description

Features include:

  • Monitors changes in lubricating oil viscosity, preventing costly engine and machinery failures
  • Verifies that correct fuel grade or blend has been delivered
  • Checks that fuel viscosity is acceptable for storage, pumping and purifiers
  • Estimates the combustion performance (CCAI) of fuel oil
  • Correct density from 50°C to kg/m³ @ 15°C in vacuo.
