The Heated Viscometer is suitable for measuring both fuel oil viscosity & lube oil viscosity. Measurement of fuel oil viscosity is important for verifying the correct grade of fuel is delivered, for calculating combustion performance, plus adjusting of fuel handling and injection systems. Viscosity of lube oil is the most important property of oil. Lube oil of the correct viscosity will provide optimum film strength in bearing clearances, with minimum friction losses and leakage.

The Heated Viscometer is suitable measuring the viscosity of oil from a wide variety of applications including diesel engines, gas and aviation turbines, gear boxes, hydraulics and fuel oils. With readings being uniquely provided directly in centistokes, it can be used in 3 ways:

Unheated with automatic viscosity correction to 40°C for lube oils.

Heated to 50°C for viscosity measurement of residual fuel oils.

Heated to 40°C for viscosity measurement of distillate fuels and lubricating oils.

The Kittiwake Viscometers have been proven to be as accurate as laboratory methods.
