Does a glass capillary viscometer really need to be recalibrated regularly? Or does the constant, once determined, remain stable for years? The answer might surprise you!

While modern measuring devices often provide viscosity readings more quickly, classic capillary viscometers have a decisive advantage: their precision is maintained over a long period of time. But why? And when is recalibration actually necessary?

In our article, you’ll learn:

• Why borosilicate glass plays a key role

• Which chemicals can affect your measurement accuracy—and which ones can’t

• Which calibration standards apply and how long a calibration actually lasts

• Practical examples: Does the viscometer constant really remain stable?
