Sources of Error in Capillary Viscometry

Before proceeding to a detailed examination of the techniques of capillary viscometry, we should consider the following list of ten potential sources of error. The first three apply to all viscometers and all fluids  

The next four sources of error apply to capillary viscometers in par-t icular  

The remaining three sources of error are attributable primarily to the character of the particular liquid being tested
