Low Viscosity Silicone Fluids are used in a wide range of instruments, gauges, sensors and meters to monitor and control temperature, pressure, vibration motion & humidity. Their low viscosity, low pour points, low viscosity change at temperature and inertness make them widely used for extreme low temperature applications. These properties ensure that the gauges/instruments/meters and sensors, in which they are used, provide the most accurate reading in the most adverse conditions.
