DIN 51562 Viscometry - Determination of Kinematic Viscosity Using Ubbelohde Viscometer

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of DIN 51562 testing. This standard deals with the Ubbelohde viscometer and its design, as well as the measurement procedure of kinematic viscosity.

This standard applies to Ubbelohde viscometers with hanging ball level and ring markings to limit the volumetric flow rate for determining the kinematic viscosity of Newtonian liquids if they are transparent enough to observe the liquid meniscus during measurement.

Viscosity is a property that measures the flow resistance of a liquid, and the kinematic viscosity of a liquid refers to the ratio between the density and viscosity of the liquid. Such measurements are important for evaluating and controlling the flow properties of liquids, especially in industrial, petrochemical and laboratory applications.

The DIN 51562-1 standard specifies the use of the Ubbelohde viscometer and the equipment and procedures required to perform kinematic viscosity measurements. The purpose of this standard is to provide a guide to ensure that measurements are made in a standard and reproducible manner and to obtain similar results in different laboratories.
