Redwood Viscometer
Product Code : JA-ALI-1705
The Redwood Viscometer from Jaincolab is used for determining the viscosity of oils, expressed in Redwood seconds at the temperature of test, as called for by IP 70. It is supplied by Jaincolab to petroleum testing laboratories across India and internationally.
Both types of Redwood viscometers, Redwood No. 1 and Redwood No. 2, electrical heating models, are available. The viscometer consists of a heavily silver-plated brass oil cup with a precision stainless steel jet, assembled in a chromium-plated bath fitted with a heating tube or heating element and a drain cock, with the bath and cup assembly mounted on a stand with levelling feet. Each unit is supplied with a silver-plated ball valve, a spirit level and cover, a thermometer clip, and a receiver of 50ml capacity, and a works certificate is issued for each cup, calibrated against a certified cup. As a manufacturer certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015, Jaincolab supplies this viscometer to laboratories across India and internationally.
