About Falling Ball Viscometer

Falling Ball Viscometer

Micro Teknik The falling ball viscometer is ideal for measuring polymers, inks, solvents, oils, and raw materials. The borosilicate glass measuring tube provides excellent visibility of the ball. The measuring tube is jacketed by an outer glass tube which can be filled with a temperature controlled liquid combine the viscometer with a circulating bath (not included) for superior precision. Viscometer includes a thermometer with a range of -1 to 26C with 0.1C divisions.
The measuring tube is inclined at a 10 angle. Measure the travel time as the ball slides down the tube through the sample liquid. The time it takes the ball to travel a portion of the tube correlates to the viscosity. The measuring tube pivots to return the ball to the starting point for repeated trials. Results are given as dynamic viscosity in the units of milliPascal seconds (mPas). To measure the viscosity of gases, purchase the optional glass ball.

Precision Measurement Technology

Utilizing a simple yet effective principle, the Falling Ball Viscometer measures viscosity by timing how quickly a stainless steel ball falls through a fluid sample. The analog scale allows for immediate, real-time readings, making it suitable for laboratory studies and practical demonstrations in academic or industrial settings.

Built for Laboratory Durability

The viscometer is constructed from high-grade stainless steel and heat-resistant borosilicate glass, offering excellent resistance to corrosion, thermal stress, and everyday laboratory wear. Its robust design ensures consistent performance and minimal maintenance over extended use.

Complete, Ready-to-Use Kit

Included with the viscometer are multiple calibrated balls for different test ranges, a comprehensive operation manual for stepwise guidance, and robust export-quality packaging. This ensures users have a complete, ready-to-use solution for their viscosity measurement requirements.

FAQs of Falling Ball Viscometer:

Q: How does the Falling Ball Viscometer function in measuring viscosity?

A: The viscometer measures viscosity by timing how long it takes a stainless steel ball to fall through a fluid inside a borosilicate glass tube. The time taken is directly related to the fluids viscosity, providing accurate results across a range of 15000 mPas.

Q: What fluids and applications is this viscometer suitable for?

A: This instrument is designed for use with various liquids that fall within the measuring range of 15000 mPas. Its robust build and accurate readings make it ideal for research, educational demonstrations, and quality control within the fluid machinery sector.

Q: When should calibration be performed on this viscometer?

A: The viscometer is factory calibrated using standard fluids, so it is ready to use upon delivery. However, periodic verification using suitable standards is recommended for critical measurements or whenever regulatory requirements dictate.

Q: Where can this device be set up and used effectively?

A: With its tabletop, manual-operation design, the viscometer can be installed in laboratories, academic institutes, and industrial quality control rooms. Its export-quality packaging also makes it suitable for shipment and setup at locations worldwide.

Q: What is the process for conducting a viscosity test with this equipment?

A: Select the appropriate stainless steel ball, introduce it into the borosilicate tube containing the sample fluid, and manually release it. Measure the time it takes for the ball to traverse a specified distance, then determine the viscosity using the supplied charts and analog scale.

Q: How easy is it to maintain this viscometer?

A: Thanks to corrosion-resistant materials and a straightforward manual design, the viscometer is easy to clean and maintain. Routine inspections and careful handling ensure prolonged accuracy and operational life.

Q: What are the key benefits of using this Falling Ball Viscometer?

A: Key advantages include its high accuracy (1% of full scale), immediate analog reading, robust construction, and versatility with various fluids. It also comes complete with all necessary accessories and documentation for seamless operation.
