The higher the viscosity, the thicker the oil.

Viscosity nowadays means a measurement of the flowability of a lubricating oil or hydraulic fluid. Several modern devices have been installed in the laboratory just for determining viscosity alone. OELCHECK principally assesses viscosity in oil samples at 40☌ and 100☌ and calculates the viscosity index from this. Since it can change when an oil is being used, it is one of the most fascinating and extensive topics in lubricant analytics. It is also dependent on temperature and can be infl uenced by special additives. It plays the decisive role in the choice of accompanying lubricant as it describes its fl uid characteristics. Viscosity is the most important physical characteristic of an oil. The test software is clearly arranged and enables comprehensive evaluation and presentation of data as well as graphical evaluation and reporting.The single most important physical characteristic of any oil Examples: automatic preconditioning, determination of cycle numbers and speed, selection of results, etc. This special test program includes numerous extras especially for viscosity testing. For non-Newtonian fluids reproducible, comparable test results are obtained, usually with more sensitive characteristics than those gained from rotation viscometers.Īnd to top it off (another advantage) testXpert III test program especially designed for viscosity testing: The test results on Newtonian fluids correlate with the results from measurements with rotation viscometers.Individual selection of the number of test cycles and the possibility of increasing the shear rate for each of these cycles enables recording of the viscosities over the entire shear rate in just one test.This method enables tests on masses with chunky pieces like fruit preparations and food systems: fruit pieces or other bigger ingredients are not pushed out and thus are measured together with the yogurt or the fluid.Flow influences that occur in production plants can be reproduced by altering the annular gap and the moving speed. This rules out prestressing of the material caused by transfilling. The viscosity can be determined directly in containers from ongoing production.Consultation and Application Technology.Specimen preparation and dimensional measurement.Extensometers for Compression, Flexure and Components Testing.Analog and Digital Hardness Testers to Shore.
