CANNON silicone standards are intended for calibration of Brookfield type rotational viscometers, such as the 2020 Series Rotary Viscometers offered by CANNON. Viscosity data at 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 40°C is provided. CANNON has been granted ISO 9001 registration for the manufacture and certification of viscosity standards, including the silicone standards listed […]
CANNON silicone standards are intended for calibration of Brookfield type rotational viscometers, such as the 2020 Series Rotary Viscometers offered by CANNON. Viscosity data at 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 40°C is provided. CANNON has been granted ISO 9001 registration for the manufacture and certification of viscosity standards, including the silicone standards listed here.
Viscosities for all silicone standards sold by CANNON are based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) value of 1.0016 mPa•s (centipoise) for water at 20°C (68°F). All silicone standards are traceable to the NIST. Silicone standards are sold in 500 mL bottles.
Note: The listed silicone standards are intended for use with rotational viscometers only. Silicone standards are not recommended for glass capillary viscometers (including vacuum viscometers), metal cup-type viscometers (such as ISO, Zahn, Ford, Shell, and Fisher cups), or any other viscometers providing kinematic viscosity – CANNON hydrocarbon-based oil standards should be used for these types of viscometers.
