Description
Cannon-Fenske viscometer BS 188 / IP 71 No. 500 is a calibrated capillary instrument for kinematic viscosity determination of transparent liquids across 1600–8000 mm²/s. Built to the Cannon-Fenske configuration under BS 188 and IP 71, it is designated size No. 500 with constant K 8,0, matching higher-viscosity clear samples that still allow visual meniscus reading. Calibration supports consistent laboratory and industrial viscosity testing where a defined size and constant are required. The glass design is intended for transparent fluids in baths and standard measuring setups. Delivered as a single piece with a net weight of 0,055 kg, it is compact for dedicated viscosity workstations. From manufacturer Witeg, this calibrated Cannon-Fenske tube suits QC, R&D and process laboratories needing reliable kinematic data on clear media within the stated measuring window.

Questions about Viscometer CANNON BS188 IP71
What is this article?
Viscometer CANNON BS188 IP71 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Witeg 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.
