Glass Capillary Viscometers
Size 25 Nominal constant 0.002 Viscosity range (mm2s-1,cSt) 0.4 to 2
PSL viscometers are constructed from low expansion borosilicate glass and the
precision bore tubing used for the capillary section is held to a close tolerance of ±0.01mm.
Calibration is carried out in the PSL Calibration Laboratory which has shown that it meets the
requirements of ISO 17025, by independent UKAS accreditation. The PSL Calibration Laboratory
maintains its own primary viscosity scale, based upon the internationally agreed value of distilled
water at 20°C of 1.0034mm2/s. Each calibration performed is one step away from this primary
scale, producing very low uncertainties of measurement.
