This table presents nominal data. Actual values, provided with each standard, may vary slightly from lot to lot and formulations are subject to change. If your application requires close conformity with published nominal values, please contact technical service to obtain the actual viscosity values associated with the current formulation.
Silicone Viscosity Standards for Rotational Viscometers
CANNON silicone viscosity standards are intended for use with rotational viscometers only. Silicone viscosity standards are not recommended for glass capillary viscometers (including vacuum viscometers), metal cup-type viscometers (such as ISO, Zahn, Ford and Shell cups), or any other viscometers providing kinematic viscosity—CANNON hydrocardon-based oil standards should be used for these types of viscometers.
CANNON silicone viscosity standards are specifically formulated for use with rotational viscometers. Lot specific viscosity data in mPa·s (cP) at 20 °C, 23 °C, 24 °C, 25 °C, 26 °C, 27 °C and 40 °C is provided with each standard. Viscosity standards are sold in 500 mL bottles.
