Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of constant temperature water bath technology, and specifically relates to a constant temperature water bath for Ubbelohde viscometers that is easy to observe. Background Technology

[0002] The Ubbelohde viscometer, also known as a liquid viscometer, is an instrument used to measure the viscosity of liquids and is widely used in industries such as chemical, petroleum, food, and pharmaceutical. Its basic principle is to utilize the flow characteristics of liquids under specific conditions and calculate viscosity by measuring the flow time. The constant-temperature water bath plays a crucial role in the Ubbelohde viscometer. Viscosity is a temperature-sensitive physical property; the viscosity of a liquid changes at different temperatures. Therefore, maintaining the stability of the statistical temperature is essential to obtain accurate and reliable viscosity measurements. Consequently, a constant-temperature water bath without stirring to ensure uniform temperature mixing has significant drawbacks. Without stirring, the temperature within the bath may create a temperature gradient due to delayed heat conduction. This temperature inhomogeneity causes the liquid being measured to be at different temperature states during the measurement process, affecting the liquid's flow characteristics and ultimately leading to deviations in the measurement results. Therefore, we aim to design a constant-temperature water bath for the Ubbelohde viscometer that is easy to observe, thereby solving this problem. Utility Model Content
