Description
520 03 Cannon-Fenske routine viscometer is a calibrated glass capillary instrument intended for automatic kinematic viscosity measurements. It incorporates capillary number 50 and the constant K = 0,004, permitting accurate conversion of automatic flow-time readings into viscosity results for transparent Newtonian liquids. Delivered as 1 pc with a net weight of 0,275 kg, the viscometer is ready for installation in automated laboratory systems. This model from manufacturer SI Analytics - a Xylem brand is suited to routine analytical tasks in quality control, research and industrial environments that utilise automatic detection. The capillary design supports reliable operation inside automated viscometer baths equipped with optical or electronic sensors, enabling consistent viscosity determinations under precise temperature control. Laboratories can apply the supplied constant directly when calculating kinematic viscosity from measured efflux intervals, obtaining a dependable calibrated tool for automated capillary viscometry workflows.
This article is part of Viscometers, in Density & viscosity measurement.

What is this article?
520 03, Cannon-Fenske routine viscometer, calibrated for automatic measurements, 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.
