Description
053 97 fixing rack is a stainless-steel laboratory accessory engineered to hold micro-Ostwald viscometers securely during viscosity measurements. The rigid frame provides stable vertical positioning of the glass capillary instruments, ensuring reproducible immersion depth and alignment in temperature-controlled baths. Supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,17 kg, the rack is intended exclusively for micro-Ostwald viscometers and supports safe handling of delicate glassware in busy analytical environments. Produced by SI Analytics - a Xylem brand, the stainless-steel construction resists corrosion from common laboratory solvents and cleaning agents, allowing long-term use under typical wet-lab conditions. The open design facilitates easy insertion and removal of viscometers while maintaining clear visual access for timing marks. This fixing rack therefore forms a practical complement to micro-scale capillary viscosity workstations, improving both safety and measurement consistency when multiple determinations are performed in sequence.
