A suspended-level capillary viscometer with some unusual features has been developed for use with pure liquids and liquid mixtures whose viscosities are affected by evaporation or exposure to the atmosphere. The timing system requires that the test liquid be at least weakly conducting. Excellent reproducibility of the flow time of water has been obtained with this instrument. Results for the viscosity of water in the temperature range 1 °C to 70 °C compare favourably with published values in terms of self-consistency. Estimates of the kinetic energy correction for capillaries with flared entries and exits have been made, and accord best with a t -2 dependence.
