Test viscosity before taking delivery of incoming lubricant stock
Determine fuel or coolant dilution in diesel engine crankcase oils
Determine viscosity of miscellaneous lubricant inventory
Verify desired viscosity when blending bulk oils
The principle of operation is simple. It is based on comparing the
viscosity of a sample of oil with oil of known viscosity. The viscosity
reading is made directly in Saybolt Universal Seconds at 100 degrees
Fahrenheit at room temperature (80 degrees Fahrenheit). No
calculations are necessary. An accuracy of 95% or better is easily
achieved when making tests. Careful operators can obtain excellent
results. The VISGAGE is more widely used throughout the world than any
other type of viscometer, for two very good reasons, better accuracy
and easier operation. Operators in the field can consistently test as
accurately and faster than most commercial laboratories. The use of the
VISGAGE is ideal for obtaining immediate test results. The VISGAGE is
designed and constructed to test the viscosity of new and used oils hut
not sludge or crude.
