Ubbelohde viscometers are for use with transparent liquids. Unlike the Cannon-Fenske Routine viscometer, suspended level viscometers possess the same viscometer constant at all temperatures. This property is advantageous when measurements are to be made at a number of different temperatures. CANNON has improved the design of the Ubbelohde viscometer to make a more rugged instrument called the Cannon-Ubbelohde viscometer. Other suspended level viscometers include the BS/IP/SL, BS/IP/SL(S), and BS/IP/MSL viscometers.

Calibrated CU Series
Suspended level viscometers are used for measurement of kinematic viscosity of transparent Newtonian liquids according to ASTM D 445 and ISO 3104. Also used for evaluating jet and hydraulic lubricants. Especially suited for use at temperatures above 93°C (200°F) or below –18°C (0°F). Require no kinetic energy corrections over 0.5 to 100 000 centistokes range. Viscometer constant is same at all temperatures. Specifications conform to ASTM D 446 and ISO 3105.
Provided with certificate of calibration and instruction sheet.

Minimum sample volume 11mL. Require liquid bath depth of 254 mm (10 inches); must be submerged to approximately 220mm (8.5 inches).

* 250 sec minimum flow time. All other sizes have flow times of 200 to 1000 seconds.
