AMETEK Brookfield Falling Ball Viscometer

Description
The Höppler principle is used to measure the viscosity of Newtonian liquid by measuring the time required for a ball to fall under gravity through a sample-filled tube that is inclined at an angle. The average time of three tests is taken; the result is converted into a viscosity value using a simple formula. FEATURES AND BENEFITS Pivot bearing allows for quick and easy tube rotation - ideal for repeat tests Connection to circulating bath for temperature control of sample Set of six balls to test a wide variety of samples Complete with temperature probe Accuracy 0.5% to 2.0% depending on ball being used
