Automated kinematic viscometers are used in petrochemical, pharmaceutical and laboratory research settings to assess product quality and process control. The instruments combine microcomputer control with automated temperature stabilization, viscosity measurement and tubing cleanup, improving testing accuracy and laboratory efficiency.
Core principles and standards
The instrument is designed to comply with GB/T 265, the national standard for the determination of kinematic viscosity of petroleum products and calculation of dynamic viscosity, and GB/T 1632-93, which covers the determination of viscosity number and intrinsic viscosity of dilute polymer solutions. Its core function is to analyze oils and dilute polymer solutions using Ubbelohde viscometers, with applications in metrology, scientific research and industrial production processes.
Main technical features
The system uses a microcomputer as its central control unit and provides a prompt-driven operation interface intended to simplify complex testing procedures.
The automated workflow is intended to reduce manual intervention across the testing cycle while maintaining consistent measurement conditions.
Technical specifications
The published specifications list the instrument’s operating range and control tolerances.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Temperature range | Ambient to 100.0°C |
| Temperature control accuracy | ±0.1°C |
| Timing accuracy | ±0.1s |
| Timing range | 0.0s to 999.9s |
| Power requirement | AC 220V ±10%, 50Hz |
| Maximum power | 2000W |
| Environmental adaptability | 0°C to 40°C, humidity 20% to 90% |
| Operating air pressure | 96 kPa to 103 kPa |
Configuration and installation
The standard configuration includes four photoelectric Ubbelohde viscometer assemblies with inner diameters of 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm and 1.5 mm, covering a range of viscosity testing requirements. Custom configurations are possible for measurement ranges or viscometer types outside the standard set.
A circulating bath and vacuum suction device are not included in the standard packing list. These items must be provided separately according to the laboratory’s installation conditions.
