Description
545 10 SA Filter Ubbelohde viscometer (ASTM) is a precision capillary instrument calibrated for automatic measurements. In addition to the filling and cleaning tube it incorporates an extra filtration tube, capillary no. 1 and a viscometer constant K = 0,01. This configuration supports accurate kinematic viscosity determination to ASTM standards while allowing in-line sample filtration before the measuring capillary. The glass design is intended for automated viscosity runs on compatible systems and is especially useful when particulate matter must be removed prior to measurement. Offered by SI Analytics - a Xylem brand, the instrument is supplied as a single piece. Its classic Ubbelohde suspended-level geometry, combined with the dedicated filling/cleaning tube and supplementary filtration tube, streamlines sample preparation, measurement and cleaning steps. Quality-control and research laboratories that require reproducible automatic viscosity data for samples needing pre-filtration benefit from the standardised capillary constant of 0,01, which ensures suitable flow times under automated conditions while retaining the established Ubbelohde measuring principle.

What is this article?
545 10 SA Filter, Ubbelohde viscometer (ASTM), calibrated for automatic 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.
