Improving ASTM D445, the Manual Viscosity Test, by Video Recording

CODEN: JTEVAB

Abstract

Video recording of the manual version of the ASTM D445, Standard Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids (and Calculation of Dynamic Viscosity), effectively automated this method, resolved ergonomic concerns, reduced chemical exposure of an operator, drastically reduced probability of errors of the operator, significantly improved productivity, and simplified the analyst training process and work turnover. The accuracy of results is acceptable from the standpoint of the ASTM D445 method.
