4	VSL	Viscosity	Viscosity	Certified Reference Material	28-08-2023

	Properties: Kinematic viscosity 0.6 - 48000 mm2/s Dynamic viscosity 0.4 - 42000 mPa.s			Remarks: Certified visometric refrence liquid for validation and/or calibration of analytical methods. The stability of the viscosity CRMs is guaranteed for one year, provided the CRM is stored in the dark, closed and at a temperature between 10 oC and 35 oC. Deliverable in bottles of 250 mL. Intended Use: VSL provides viscosity reference materials and calibrations to clients including pharmaceutical, chemical, and manufacturing companies and accredited laboratories around the world. The basis for all viscosity measurements is the internationally accepted viscosity of double-distilled water. VSL uses this water and increasingly viscous fluids to set the constants of its Ostwald viscometers, which it then uses to determine the viscosity of unknown fluids and reference materials. We perform these measurements in a thermostatic bath that can be set to different temperatures. VSL is the only Dutch institute that has ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation for viscosity from the Dutch Accreditation Council. CRM Certificate: not yet available
