Silicone oil

Whats Silicone Oil? Linear polydimethylsiloxanes are the most important industrial polysiloxanes. These polymers are classified based on their viscosity, which is a function of their average chain length, as well as the functional groups in their structure. One of the most important silicone oils is polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS), which changes in their degree of polymerization. It causes a change in molecular mass and finally a change in viscosity.

The application of silicone oil in the instrument industry

Silicone Oil is widely used in the instrument industry. This is used in measuring devices, especially pressure gauges. The pressure gauge is available in two types: dry and oily, in oil type and glycerin are used. In some processes where there are a lot of fluctuations and measurement shocks. Oil pressure gauges should be used, because due to its viscosity, it repels fluctuations, shocks and shocks caused by pressure changes, and the manometer needle becomes stable and the measurement accuracy increases.
