BYK-Gardner bubble viscometers are used to quickly determine kinematic viscosity of known liquids such as resins and varnishes.
• The liquid standards are sealed in glass tubes
• Shelf life is 5 years
• Sample tubes can be cleaned quickly and easily
• Tubes have no orifices that can be clogged to cause faulty measurements
• Repeated readings may be taken easily once the temperature has been controlled
The time required for an air bubble to rise is directly proportional to the viscosity of the liquid – the faster the bubble rises, the lower the viscosity. BYK-Gardner bubble viscometers come in lettered tubes A5 through Z10 in four different tube sets covering viscosity ranges from 0.005 to 1,000 stokes.
