DESIGN AND BUILD UP THE STIRRER VISCOMETER

Abstract

Fluids are substances that can flow. One of the flow substances is liquid. Every liquid has a characteristicthat distinguishes a liquid from another liquid. One characteristic of a liquid is viscosity (thickness). Themeasuring instrument used to determine the viscosity of a liquid is a viscometer. Due to the importance of theamount of viscosity, so it is necessary to know the measurement easily, cheaply, and thoroughly. One methodis to use a stirrer viscometer as a liquid viscous measurement devices. The purpose of this research was todetermine the construction and test the designed stirrer viscometer. The research method used is theexperimental method. The procedure of this research includes designing, assembling, and testing a stirringviscometer. The results of experiments that have been carried out show that the stirrer viscometer devicescan to used to measure the viscosity of liquids with time and temperature indicators. This tool effectivelyproves that the temperature affects the viscosity of a liquid where the higher the temperature of the liquid, thelower the value of the viscosity of the liquid, and conversely the lower the temperature of the liquid, thehigher the viscosity value of the liquid.
