Abstract

A remote control viscometer, designed for use in a high pressure bomb up to 5000 atm, is described. Operation is as follows: a solenoid lifts a tapered piston, which then drops into a cylinder. On the down stroke, needles attached rigidly to the piston dip successively into two mercury wells, the first one starting an electric timer and the second stopping it. Three insulated leads into the bomb are required; the case acts as the common ground. Relative viscosities can be reliably measured within 2%. Results at 30° are given over the pressure range for n-propyl ether, cumene, n-butyl chloride, and 1,2-dichloroethane.
