11. In 1978, SOFRASER created an industrial viscometer to satisfy their customers in boiler oven combustion optimisation. 12. The viscosity is reported in Krebs units ( KU ), which are unique to Stormer viscometers . 13. 'Cone and plate'viscometers use a narrow angled cone in close proximity to a flat plate. 14. Also used in coatings, a Stormer viscometer uses load-based rotation in order to determine viscosity. 15. They are the Cold Cranking Simulator ( ASTMD5293 ) and the Mini-Rotary Viscometer ( ASTM D4684 ). 16. This is the basis of universal calibration which requires a viscometer to measure the intrinsic viscosity of the polymers. 17. Reverse flow viscometers have the reservoir above the markings and direct flow are those with the reservoir below the markings. 18. He developed the Mooney viscometer ( used to measure Mooney viscosity ) and other testing equipment used in the rubber industry. 19. It was replaced by the Viscosense, a new generation viscometer based on rotational vibrations of a pendulum in a liquid. 20. The outer cylinder of the Stabinger Viscometer is a tube that rotates at constant speed in a temperature-controlled copper housing.
