Sugar, sugar, sugar. Sugar is in most of our meals and drinks.Even in products which we will think should’t have any content of sugar. We love it and hate it in the same time. But it doesn’t have to be all bad if its use in moderation and if comes to flavor is simply needed…
The Cannon-Fenske Routine Viscometer measures kinematic viscosity of transparent Newtonian liquids according to ASTM D445 and ISO 3104. Minimum sample volume is 7 mL. Minimum bath depth is 203 mm (8 in). Both calibrated and uncalibrated viscometers are available. Calibrated viscometers include a certificate of calibration and instruction sheet. Holders are sold separately. If you…
What is Calibration? Calibration is a comparison between a known measurement (the standard) and the measurement using your instrument. Quality of your product or service depends of the correct results of the calibration of the use instrument. You should calibrate all the equipment once a year but it is important to do the calibration by…
The ability to gather viscosity data on a material gives manufacturers an important information about “product dimension”. This data it’s necessary to predict how the material will perform in the real world. For example, if toothpaste does not have the correct viscosity, it can either be too difficult to squeeze out from the tube, or…
To meet all the requirements of our clients we can blend custom standards to your temperature and viscosity specifications. Because of the large number of factors involved, we must quote individually each order. To help us serve you better, when ordering custom standards please state the acceptable viscosity (or kinematic viscosity) range and temperature(s) required. Standards will…
What is asphalt? Asphalt, also known as bitumen is a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. It may be found in natural deposits or may be a refined product, and is classed as a pitch. The word Asphalt is derived from the ancient Greek. Main use, around 70% of asphalt is in road…
Every viscometer / rheometer is supplied with an internal spring used to calculate the viscosity of a material. These springs have different measuring capabilities: LV – is for low viscosity materials and can measure the “thinnest” materials. Examples include inks, oils and solvents (the liquid in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution)….

Our stainless steel flow cups are 100% made of stainless steel with 2 year guaranty, supplied with the range of certified standard oils to confirm the flow cup is measuring within specification. For more details or to place the order please email: info@qc-labs.co.uk
To make sure that you get accurate reading from your viscometer it is recommended to perform additional calibration in your laboratory once a week. For this procedure we will recommend Cannon calibration oil RT5000 which is calibrating in over 6 temperatures. If you would like more information please email us: info@qc-labs.co.uk
