ABSTRACT:
An adapter for an orbiting object viscometer that extends the practical measurement range of such viscometer type to lower viscosity fluids and improves the measurement accuracy. A baffle means disposed in the test fluid reduces whirlpooling, which occurs in low useful viscosity fluids, to extend the viscosity measurement range to lower viscosity fluids. A temperature sensor disposed in the test fluid increases the accuracy of the viscosity measurements by providing more accurate fluid temperature to the processor calculating the viscosity. The advantages of the orbiting object viscometer such as rapid viscosity measurements and the ability to measure the viscosity of hazardous or corrosive fluids are maintained through the design of the adapter providing support for a single vane baffle or compound vane baffle immersed into the fluid, which adaptor is designed and mounted to ensure that the baffle carefully avoids the path of the orbiting object within same fluid.
