Profile
The working group is in charge of the National Standard for the quantity viscosity. Very precise measurements of density and viscosity of liquids will be performed. A special focus is the measurement on fuels and heat transfer liquids.
Furthermore measuring apparatuses for the measurement of density and viscosity under pressure and high temperatures are under development.
