Stable, well-controlled viscosity is critical for product quality, process efficiency, and regulatory compliance in many industries. Small deviations can lead to off-spec material, higher scrap rates, and costly downtime.
UFIT capillary viscosity systems provide precise, reproducible measurements across a wide viscosity and temperature range. They are used in the laboratory to control viscosity.
On this page you will find typical applications and industries where UFIT systems are used, along with guidance on which viscometers, complete systems, and components are most suitable.
In chemical and petrochemical processes, viscosity affects mass transfer, mixing, and heat transfer. Typical applications include monitoring the progress of reactions, tracking concentration changes in solutions, and verifying product specifications for intermediates and final products.
UFIT viscosity systems are designed for different environments and containing chemically resistant capillaries and tubing as well as extended temperature. They deliver fast, reproducible measurements that can be connected to laboratory information management systems for automated long term quality control.
Recommended products: UFIT Viscosity Systems (UVS) with modular components tailored to the medium, temperature range, and counts of measurements, and selected Capillary Viscometers in the laboratory for method development, reference measurements, and product release testing.
Laboratories and R&D departments require flexible, reliable viscosity measurement tools for method development, benchmarking, and support of production. Typical tasks include comparison of formulations, stability studies, and validation of new raw materials.
UFIT Viscosity Systems (UVS) provide high accuracy and reproducibility with automated temperature control and data logging, making them ideal for routine QC as well as advanced research. They can be combined with different capillaries, temperature settings, and calibration standards to cover a broad viscosity and temperature range.
Recommended products: UFIT Viscosity Systems (UVS) compounds of Components & Accessories like cosntant temperature bath, chiller, solvent-resistant tubing, and calibration standard kits for robust, traceable measurements.
Every medium and process has its own requirements. UFIT designs modular viscosity systems that can be adapted to different viscosity ranges, temperatures, chemical resistances, and installation conditions.
Together with your team, UFIT engineers define the measurement task, select suitable capillaries and solvents, design the step of automation, and specify interfaces to your control system. Existing systems can often be upgraded or extended with additional modules.
If you need a tailored viscosity solution for your process or laboratory, our engineers will support you from first concept through commissioning and training.
