Measurement and Prediction of Fluid Viscosity at High Shear Rates
Tuesday, April 09, 2013
Polymeric materials, in a general sense, are viscoelastic in nature since they exhibit a strong dependence of deformation and flow on time and temperature. Performance of these materials can only be ... read more
Capillary Rheometry: Analysis of Low-Viscosity Fluids, and Viscous Liquids and Melts at High Shear Rates
Thursday, October 01, 2009
Rheology is defined as the study of the flow and deformation of fluids. Based on the need to quickly and accurately set and control processing conditions, optimize product performance, and/or ... read more
A High-Performance, Fully Self-Contained, Rotational Viscometer
Saturday, August 01, 2009
Routine viscosity measurements of materials are important in most industrial processes such as mixing and pumping, spraying and coating, extrusion, laydown, and leveling. Typically, a rotational ... read more
