C. Recommended Viscosity
Range 1-5 cSt (w/o correction)
The effects of changing viscosity on the FTB600B Series are the same as
any other turbine flow meter. It is important to remember that a turbine
meter is a viscosity dependent device, where as the viscosity increases
the linearity of the flow meter will decrease. (Water like viscosities are
ideally suited for use with the FTB600B Series) The FTB600B Series is
factory calibrated with water.
Correction procedure for higher viscosity
For viscosities greater than 5 cSt consult the factory. The FTB600B Series
can be used on fluids greater than 5 cSt. however, the K-factor
(linearity) will change. This requires a recalibration of the FTB600B
Series at the known viscosity to determine the new KFactor.
