Capillary viscometer and flow cups (orifice viscometers) The working principle of these instruments is based on the determination of the time needed for a standard volume of fluid to pass through a ...

Gravimetric Capillary is the most common technique used to measure kinematic viscosity. It is temperature controlled, usually 40 ºC for single grade oils, and both 40 and 100 ºC for multi-grade oils.

In this article, we will consider what viscosity is, how it is measured and the applications of viscometry in the food and beverage industry. When a force or stress is applied to a fluid, it flows, ...
