Viscosity Calibration Oils
 | Viscosity calibration oils are used to check viscosity measurements. Elcometer offers both viscosity cup standard calibration oils as well as rotational calibration oils. To check the viscosity’s cup calibration or certify it for ISO purposes, the viscosity cup standard calibration oils are used. Standard rotational calibration oils are made for use with Elcometer Rotational viscometers. |
In order to check the viscosity cup’s calibration or to certify it for ISO purposes, it is imperative that viscosity cup standard calibration oils are used.
Standard oils have a specific drain time, dependent upon the viscosity cup type (Ford, Shell, Zahn etc.) and the orifice or cup number used.
To check the viscosity cup, use the standard viscosity oils in place of the liquid and measure the drain time.
Specific calibration oils can only be used with specific flow and dip cups. Please use the table below to determine which calibration oil is required with each cup, or contact Elcometer. Viscosity oils are supplied in ½ liter (1 pint) bottles.

Silicone standard oils are used to check viscosity measurements. The values are given for 6 different temperatures between 20°C and 27°C (68°F and 80°F).
The oils listed below are specifically manufactured for use with Elcometer Rotational viscometers and values quoted are nominal at 25°C (77°F).
