Viscosity standards CANNON ® Instrument Company recommends that laboratories check
their kinematic viscosity measurements with viscosity standards. If the
laboratory is using CANNON
® calibrated viscometers and has developed
a good measuring technique, kinematic viscosity determination using a
standard will often point to temperature errors.
Viscosity standards should not be used to establish the correct tempera-
ture of the bath, however. Bath temperature should be checked and
corrected by applying the reliable thermometric techniques outlined
above.
