The PIK-GEOVIS-700 capillary viscometer is designed to measure gas and liquid viscosity at reservoir conditions in the range from 0.1 mPa-s to 10,000 mPa-s in accordance with GOST 7163-84.
Fluid viscosity is calculated by solving the Hagen-Poiseuille equation in accordance with the set pressure drop and flow rate values when flowing through one of the three capillaries of known geometry. Sample is supplied through capillary by piston pump, which ensures necessary pressure and flow rate accuracy. Tanks and capillaries are in thermostatically controlled volume.
