Manual Kinematic Viscometer

Labmate Manual Kinematic Viscometer measures viscosity with readings between 0.5 and 10,000 centistokes. They operate with glass capillary tubes for observing fluid flow under gravity. Their durable structure allows for long-lasting performance in harsh laboratory conditions. They offer consistent temperature control through integrated heating baths, ensuring reliable viscosity measurement. Our Manual Kinematic Viscometer determines the kinematic viscosity of oils, fuels, and lubricants in laboratory settings.
