Introduction
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. Manual Kinematic Viscometer determines the kinematic viscosity of oils, fuels, and lubricants in laboratory settings.

FAQ
What are the main applications of the Manual Kinematic Viscometer?
The Manual Kinematic Viscometer is used to measure the viscosity or flow behaviour of fluids. It supports formulation, batch consistency and quality control in paints, oils, food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and cosmetics.
What standards does the Manual Kinematic Viscometer comply with?
The instrument is designed with reference to applicable ISO, ASTM and GB/T standards for viscosity measurement and IEC 61010 electrical safety. Procedures should follow the relevant standard method. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.
What does the warranty cover?
A 12-month warranty applies to the complete equipment against defects in materials and workmanship. It excludes consumables, wearing components and accidental or misuse damage. Our service team handles claims against the serial number, and longer cover can be arranged.
Is the Manual Kinematic Viscometer difficult to operate?
Day-to-day use is simple, with clear prompts and pre-set functions reducing manual steps. New operators should review the manual and complete a short familiarisation. Our technical team offers remote support during the first runs.
What is the typical lead time for order delivery?
Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
How often should the Manual Kinematic Viscometer be calibrated?
To protect result reliability, periodic verification should be performed, typically once or twice a year. The instrument arrives factory-calibrated, and self-check routines help spot drift. We offer traceable calibration service if the site needs it.
Are consumables and spare parts easy to obtain?
Filters, seals, probes and similar items are standard and can be supplied through our channel. Customers may also source equivalent items that meet the specification. Provide the model and serial number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Are options or configurations available?
A range of options is available to match the application, such as alternative settings, fittings, data outputs or power supply. We confirm each option and its effect on price and schedule up front. Larger custom builds can be discussed.
How is the Manual Kinematic Viscometer commissioned?
The unit is delivered ready for set-up, with clear commissioning steps in the manual. We provide remote technical support during installation. For larger or regulated systems, a factory-trained engineer can attend on site on request.
What maintenance and safety points matter?
Do not use samples outside the viscosity range, introduce bubbles or use damaged spindles. Control temperature, since viscosity is temperature dependent. Follow the operating instructions.
