What is a Viscometer?
A viscometer is an instrument used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. For liquids with viscosities that vary with flow conditions, an instrument called a rheometer is used.

How do I choose a viscometer?
Line diameter.
Process communication connection (i.e. DIN, ANSI, threaded, etc.)
Flow rate in the process (high and low)
Particle sizes and particle size distribution in the fluid.
Solids concentration.
Temperature range of the process (high and low)
Viscosity range of the product.
Line pressure.
What are the types of viscometers?
Viscometers – More than Just One Measuring Method. In the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z 8803, viscometers are categorized into
capillary tube viscometers, falling ball viscometers, rotational viscometers, and vibration viscometers. There are other methods of measuring viscosity such as the cup method and LST.
