Calibrants

Calibrants are are used to verify that the viscometer is operating correctly, or to calibrate it. There are 3 calibrants - CHECK, LOW, and HIGH. Benson Viscometers are able to supply a full range of calibrants needed to run the BV200 or BV1 viscometers - this is normally by contract for scheduled monthly deliveries, ensuring they are fresh, and reducing storage needs.

Labels

Benson Viscometers are able to supply labels for Steriliser, Enzyme, and Water Rinse so they can be attached to the client tubes. Laboratories are able to use their own sourced Steriliser and cleaning fluids.
