The test results are given as dynamic viscosity in the internationally standardized, absolute units of mPa By turning the measuring tube upside down again the return of the ball may also be used for an additional measurement applying the return cons- tant. The sample viscosity is correlated to the time a ball requires to traverse a definite distance. The rolling and sliding movements of a ball through the sample liquid are timed in an inclined cylindrical measuring tube.

Detergents (liquid washing agents, washing-up liquids, tenside solu- tions). Paints and varnishes (printing inks, varnishes, water lacquers, inks). Paper industry (emulsions, pigment dispersion, paper additives). Petroleum industry (light crude, machine oil, crude petroleum). Cosmetic/Pharmaceutical industry (raw materials, glycerine, emulsions, suspensions, solutions, extracts). Chemical industry (polymer solutions, solvents, resin solutions, latex dispersions, adhesive solutions). Food industry (sugar solution, honey, beer, milk, gelatine, fruit juice). Mineral oil industry (oils, liquid hydrocarbons). The VISCO BALL viscometer is mainly used for low viscosity substances such as used in: Extended re-calibration periods through improved bearing support. Reduced cost of ownership through increased life time of falling tube. Minimized test time due to accurate return run of the ball. High accuracy through improved visibility of falling ball. Measuring with easy conection to our thermovisc series The Viscoball measures accurately the viscosity of transparent Newtonian liquids and gases (with a special glass ball).
