Description
SP-5 standard spindle is an optional laboratory spindle intended for viscosity measurement across an extended viscosity range. It is specified for use in combination with the rotational viscometers ROTAVISC lo-vi Complete and ROTAVISC lo-vi Advanced, allowing laboratories to broaden the measuring capability of these instruments. Supplied as one piece, the spindle has a net weight of 0,032 kg and a matching gross weight of 0,032 kg, keeping handling simple during spindle changes. Packaging measures 0,010 m in height, 0,270 m in width and 0,160 m in depth, supporting tidy storage beside the viscometer. Offered by manufacturer IKA, the SP-5 integrates directly into the lo-vi Complete and Advanced configurations without requiring instrument redesign. Non-sterile construction is appropriate for general analytical and quality-control applications where sterility is not required. Clear model designation as SP-5 aids inventory management when several standard spindles are kept on hand. The single-piece unit quantity simplifies procurement for laboratories that need a dedicated spindle for higher-range lo-vi work.

Questions about SP-5, Standard spindle
What is this article?
SP-5, Standard spindle is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Viscometers, inside Density & viscosity measurement, in Lab instruments.
A capillary viscometer times the flow of a liquid through a tube. A rotational viscometer twists a spindle in the liquid. Both need a stated temperature. Kinematic and dynamic viscosity are different numbers. The capillary size has to put the flow time in the range the method allows.
Density is mass divided by volume. A hydrometer floats at a depth that depends on the density of the liquid. A pycnometer is a vessel of known volume that is weighed full. Viscosity is the resistance to flow. A capillary viscometer times how long a volume takes to fall through a tube. Both measurements need a stated temperature, because liquids change density and viscosity as they warm. The units trace to the BIPM and to NIST.
