The document discusses a heated viscometer device that measures oil viscosity on-site to help monitor equipment condition and identify potential issues. It provides viscosity measurements in minutes to help maintenance decisions and prevent equipment damage by detecting out-of-spec fuels or lubricants. The device measures viscosity at specific temperatures and calculates it automatically by timing a rolling ball as the device tilts back and forth.
