Table 1: Determination of Liquid Density: Results

1) The experiment determined the viscosity constants of glass capillaries and kinematic viscosity of liquids using a glass capillary viscometer at constant temperature. 2) The densities of water, lubricant oil, and diesel were measured using a pycnometer at 40°C. 3) The dynamic viscosities of water, lubricant oil, and diesel were calculated at a constant temperature of 40°C using the measured kinematic viscosity and density values.

Determine the viscosity constants for glass capillary and the kinematic
viscosity of liquids by using glass capillary at constant temperature is the
objective of this experiment. We also calculate the dynamic fluid viscosity at
constant temperature. At first, we used water as a standard liquid and we also
used pipette to pour 10ml of water into a capillary glass viscometer. Then, we
put the capillary glass viscometer into the water bath and observed until the
temperature of water and instrument becomes equal. Water in the capillary glass
viscometer was sucked until the water level is about 5mm above the level in the
viscometer by using a vacuum pump. We measure the time taken for water to
flow from high level to low level of the viscometer. If the flowing time is less than
200 seconds, the test was repeated by using a smaller capillary. The viscometer
constant was then calculated using the known kinematic viscosity, of water .
In this experiment, we also determine the liquid density. First of all, an empty
pycnometer was weigh before it was filled with liquid and weigh once again. The
difference in the weight is the weight of the liquid in the pycnometer. By knowing
the volume and density, the viscometer constant at constant temperature can be
determined.
