Measurement Units: The Measurement Units menu displays the current selections for measurement
units. Each unit can be changed by pressing the blue down arrow and
selecting the desired value. Measurement Units are part of the data file for
saved results. Available units include:
Viscosity cP centipoise
P Poise
mPa•s milliPascal seconds
Pa•s Pascal seconds
cSt centistokes
mm 2 /s millimeters squared per second
1000 cP = 10 P = 1000 mPa•s = 1 Pa•s
1 cSt = 1 mm 2 /s
TIP: When cSt units are chosen for viscosity, a density
value must be entered in the Density field in Configure
Viscosity Test.
Speed RPM revolutions per minute
1/s reciprocal seconds
The relationship between RPM and 1/s is defined by the
SCR value of the selected spindle. See Appendix D for
details.
Temperature C Centigrade
F Fahrenheit
100 C = 5/9 * (212 F – 32)
Stress (Shear) Dyne/cm 2 Dyne per square centimeter
N/m 2 Newton / square meter
Pa Pascal
10 dyne/cm 2 = 1 N/m 2 = 1 Pa
Density g/cm 3 gram / cubic centimeter
kg/m 3 kilogram / cubic meter
1 g/cm 3 = 1000 kg/m 3
TIP: Density and viscosity are both sensitive to
temperature. When using a density value in
Configure Viscosity Test, be sure to enter a density
value that was determined at the same temperature
as that of the viscosity measurement.
