Description
516 10 Micro-Ostwald viscometer is a calibrated glass capillary instrument intended for manual kinematic viscosity measurements on small sample volumes. Equipped with capillary no. I and a constant K of 0,01, it is pre-calibrated for direct use in manual timing procedures without the need for the laboratory to determine the constant first. Supplied as 1 pc with a net weight of 0,275 kg, the micro-scale design conserves sample while retaining the classic Ostwald flow geometry. The instrument comes from SI Analytics - a Xylem brand and is aimed at analytical, quality-control and research laboratories that require reliable manual viscosity data. Its calibrated capillary supports precise efflux-time determinations under controlled temperature, making it suitable for dilute solutions, solvents and other Newtonian liquids compatible with glassware. The compact format is especially practical when only limited sample is available. Manufactured in Germany, the 516 10 provides a ready-to-use micro-Ostwald solution for routine and specialised manual viscosity work.

What is this article?
516 10, Micro-Ostwald viscometer, calibrated for manual measurements, Capillary is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes SI Analytics - a Xylem brand 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.
