Description
Viscometer Cannon-Fenske 1600-8000 is a calibrated capillary instrument for determining the kinematic viscosity of opaque media. It has a length of 295 mm, capillary no. 500, a measuring range of 1600–8000 and a viscometer constant K of 8,0 mm²/s². Built to the Cannon-Fenske design for non-transparent samples, it supports flow-time measurements where optical clarity is limited, making it suitable for dark oils, suspensions and similar industrial fluids. The unit is supplied as 1 pc with a net weight of 0,066 kg and is intended for use in temperature-controlled viscosity baths in quality control and research laboratories. This model from manufacturer Witeg is delivered calibrated, so laboratories can apply the stated constant directly in routine kinematic viscosity work. Its defined capillary size and reverse-flow geometry for opaque media help standardize measurements across petrochemical, lubricant and process-fluid applications without relying on visual meniscus reading through the sample itself.
This article is part of Viscometers, in Density & viscosity measurement.

Questions about Viscometer Cannon Fenske 1600-8000
What is this article?
Viscometer Cannon Fenske 1600-8000 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.
