Video recording of the manual version of the ASTM D445, Standard Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids (and Calculation of Dynamic Viscosity), effectively automated this method, resolved ergonomic concerns, reduced chemical exposure of an operator, drastically reduced probability of errors of the operator, significantly improved productivity, and simplified the analyst training process and work turnover. The accuracy of results is acceptable from the standpoint of the ASTM D445 method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
