Preciseness Defines a Quality Viscometer

1. Preciseness Defines a Quality Viscometer        Viscometer is used to measure the viscosity of amaterialorfluid’sresistancetoflowunder                   an applied stressinaprovidedenvironment.Viscosityisrepresentedbythesymbolη"eta"               which is the ratio of the shearing stress to the velocity gradient in a fluid.    Precisely a ​viscometer can measure the viscosity’s quality. The installation of new technology like ​rheometer​​­on­a­chip, innovative MEMS and microfluidics provides more precise and accurate measurement of viscosity of a substance/material. Moreover, such           technologies make it very easy to operate and take a reading of viscosity.    Why to measure viscosity:    The measurement of ​viscosity is considered to see the behavior of a fluid material in a particular environment and design. Since viscosity of a material changes dramatically with           temperature, engineers or experts use ​viscometer to understand what will happen to fuel fluids in different temperatures and pressures. This instrument is widely used in research           labs to measure new as well as existing fluids’ viscosities for industrial applications. Now,                 viscometers are being used extensively in different industries for quality control.    Types of Viscometer:     There are several types of ​viscometers being used in laboratories and industries. The portable ​viscosity ​​testers are most used in commercial applications.     U­Tube Viscometers are mostly used laboratory settings. Falling sphere viscometers, falling           piston viscometers, rotational viscometers, bubble viscometers, and ​rheometers are some other types of viscometers that are available with technicalinnovationstomeasure​plasma               viscosity​​. Different forms of viscometers are being explored as per the requirements of           smallsamplevolume,highshearrates,differenttemperatures,qualitymonitoringandother             research works.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

2. Applications of Viscometers:    The application of viscometers inwidevarietyofmaterialandchemicalindustriesisproved.             They are extensively used in quality control for food and beverages, cosmetic products,               chemical items, and researchanddevelopment.Indifferentprocessconditionsofmaterials,           they are needed to be pumped and flow in different shapes and designs.    A material’s viscosity is important to consider in its dipping and coating performance. For             example,inks,paints,toothpastesandchocolatesaresomeproductsthatneedviscosityand           texture application in different temperatures and circumstances.     Rheometers are applied to measure a material’s properties like molecular weight and             density that virtually affect its flow behavior. It’s a usual instrument of technical sales             department to test viscosity of a fluid material.    Viscometry is taken in mineral oils and lubricants including motor oil, fuel oil, and gas well               drilling fluids. Other commercial applications of ​plasma viscometer include adhesive materials, beverages, chemicals, food products, paints & coatings, petroleum products.                                                                                                                                                Contact Us  To obtain brochures, quotations, or more information on RheoSense products, fill out and             submit the form below. Please include your location (City, Country) for immediate           assistance.                              Email  Sales@RheoSense.com  Info@RheoSense.com  Phone:  (925) 866­3801  Office  2420 Camino Ramon, Suite 240 San Ramon, CA 94583  http://www.rheosense.com/products/viscometers
