Knowledge of fuel oil viscosity is important for verifying thecorrect grade of fuel is delivered, for calculating combustion
performance, plus adjusting of fuel handling and injection
systems. Viscosity of lube oil is the most important property
of oil. Lube oil of the correct viscosity will provide optimum
film strength in bearing clearances with minimum friction
losses and leakage. The Kittiwake Fuel and Lube Oil Viscometer is extremelyrugged and ideal for harsh industrial applications. The
Viscometer is suitable for use on oils from a wide variety of
applications including diesel engines, gas and aviation
turbines, gear boxes, hydraulics and fuel oils.The
Kittiwake Viscometer can be used in 3 ways: 3. Heated to 50C for residual fuel oils.Readings are uniquely provided directly in centistokes. FEATURES

Monitors changes in lubricating oil viscosity,preventing costly engine and machinery failures.Verifies correct fuel grade or blend has beendelivered.Checks that fuel viscosity is acceptable forstorage, pumping and purifiers.Estimates the combustion performance (CCAI) offuel oil.Correct density from 50аC. to kg/m3@ 15C invacuo. >
