Falling Ball Viscometer The Falling Ball Viscometer type C from Thermo Haake accurately measures the viscosity of transparent Newtonian liquids and gases. The rolling and sliding movements of a ball through the sample liquid are times in an inclined cylindrical measuring tube. The sample viscosity is correlated to the time a ball requires to transverse a definite distance. Test results are given as dynamic viscosity. |
The Falling Ball Viscometer is mainly used for low viscous substances such as polymer solutions, solvents, inks, glycerine, gelatine, sugar solutions, oils, and liquid hydrocarbons.
