Quick overview

Quickly and conveniently, the VISGAGE #2 checks oil viscosity on-site; without thermometers or stop watches. The VISGAGE can be used to check any oil from light spindle oil to heavy gear oils. The VISGAGE #2 is recommended for use with readings approximately 40 to 800 SUS. Quality control can be assured when the VISGAGE is regularly utilized to verify oil viscosities.

MODEL #2 SCALE RANGE - 0 TO 2000 SUS @ 100ºF. Recommended range for readings approximately 40 to 800 SUS

Test viscosity before taking delivery of incoming lubricant stock
Determine fuel or coolant dilution in diesel engine crankcase oils
Determine viscosity of miscellaneous lubricant inventory
Verify desired viscosity when blending bulk oils

The principle of operation is simple. It is based on comparing the viscosity of a sample of oil with oil of known viscosity. The viscosity reading is made directly in Saybolt Universal Seconds at 100 degrees Fahrenheit at room temperature (80 degrees Fahrenheit). No calculations are necessary. An accuracy of 95% or better is easily achieved when making tests. Careful operators can obtain excellent results. The VISGAGE is more widely used throughout the world than any other type of viscometer, for two very good reasons, better accuracy and easier operation. Operators in the field can consistently test as accurately and faster than most commercial laboratories. The use of the VISGAGE is ideal for obtaining immediate test results. The VISGAGE is designed and constructed to test the viscosity of new and used oils hut not sludge or crude.

Specifications
  • Hold the case with VISGAGE in horizontal position at eye level, fifteen inches away, with scale in upright position (Fig. 3}. 'Instrument will be facing you with reference tube over plunger tube.
  • With both balls on zero line, tilt instrument with nozzle end down {Fig. 5) to an angle between 30 and 45 degrees so balls move through the oils toward the line at left side of scale. (NOTE: To develop your proficiency and to determine best angle of tilt, make VISGAGE tests using a standard fluid of known viscosity.)
  • Give balls the run of the oils.
  • As the leading ball approaches the line at the left of scale (200/400 SUS line), gradually move the instrument to horizontal position to stop leading ball exactly on the line.
  • The point on the scale of the lagging ball indicates the viscosity of the tested oil directly in Saybolt Universal Seconds at 100°E After a few trials, any operator can check the viscosity of oils to an accuracy of 95% or better; and if skillful, to even closer accuracy.
