Which of the following meters is not associated with viscosity

A. Red wood

B. Say bolt

C. Engler

D. Orsat

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

In the context of fluid mechanics and viscosity measurement, the Orsat meter is not associated with viscosity. The Orsat meter is primarily used for the analysis of gas composition, particularly for measuring the percentage of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and other gases in a gas sample.

On the other hand:
Option A: Redwood viscometer is associated with measuring viscosity.
Option B: Saybolt viscometer is used for measuring the viscosity of petroleum products.
Option C: Engler viscometer is another instrument used for measuring viscosity.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: Orsat, as it is not related to viscosity measurement.

    Red wood is used to determine the Kinematic Viscosity of the oil.

    Say bolt is a viscometer which is used to determine the viscosity of petroleum products. It is developed Standardized by Say Bolt University in America.

    Engler viscometer is used for measuring the viscosity of lubricating oils and measured the viscosity of liquids by counting the number of drops.

    Orsat is used to determine the composition of various gasses present in a particular gas sample.

    ∴ ‘Orsat’ is not related to Viscosity.
