II.4 Consideration for Making Measurements
In taking viscosity measurements with the Dial Viscometer, there are two considerations which
pertain to the low viscosity limit of effective measurement.
1) Viscosity measurements should be accepted within the equivalent % Torque Range from
10% to 100% for any combination of spindle/speed rotation.
2) Viscosity measurements should be taken under laminar ow conditions, not under turbulent
ow conditions.
The rst consideration has to do with the accuracy of the instrument. All Dial Viscometers have
a full scale range precision of ± 1% for any spindle/speed combination. We discourage taking
readings below 10% of range because the potential viscosity error of ± 1% is a relatively high
number compared to the instrument reading.
