Heated Viscometer - 25245 Test Solutions

1. Unheated with automatic viscosity correction to 40°Cfor lube oils. 2.

H

Heated to 40°C for distillate fuels and lubricating oils.

EATED V ISCOMETER (

FG-K1-200-KW)

Knowledge of fuel oil viscosity is important for verifying thecorrect grade of fuel is delivered, for calculating combustion performance, plus adjusting of fuel handling and injection systems. Viscosity of lube oil is the most important property of oil. Lube oil of the correct viscosity will provide optimum film strength in bearing clearances with minimum friction losses and leakage. The Kittiwake Fuel and Lube Oil Viscometer is extremelyrugged and ideal for harsh industrial applications. The Viscometer is suitable for use on oils from a wide variety of applications including diesel engines, gas and aviation turbines, gear boxes, hydraulics and fuel oils.The Kittiwake Viscometer can be used in 3 ways: 3. Heated to 50°C for residual fuel oils.Readings are uniquely provided directly in centistokes. FEATURES

Monitors changes in lubricating oil viscosity,preventing costly engine and machinery failures.Verifies correct fuel grade or blend has beendelivered.Checks that fuel viscosity is acceptable forstorage, pumping and purifiers.Estimates the combustion performance (CCAI) offuel oil.Correct density from 50°C. to kg/m3@ 15°C invacuo.

Supplied with an extensive instrucution manual andTraining CDfor the use of the equipment together with interpretation of results.
