Capillary viscometer and flow cups (orifice viscometers) The working principle of these instruments is based on the determination of the time needed for a standard volume of fluid to pass through a ...

Traditional viscometers rely on capillary flow, and falling balls are simple and effective means for measuring fluid viscosity over a large range. However, their low measurement throughput and lack of ...

IN a recent letter 1 Mr. A. C. Merrington points out that, when a material for which the viscosity decreases greatly with increase in rate of shear is investigated in a capillary viscometer, the ...

This article discusses how using the hand-held, solvent-free SpectroVisc Q3000 Series in the field delivers accurate kinematic viscosity measurements immediately, even when compared to conventional ...

The United States Pharmacopeia has stated that references to General Chapter <911> "Viscosity" will be changed to General Chapter <911> "Viscosity-Capillary Viscometer Methods," <912> "Rotational ...

In this article, we will consider what viscosity is, how it is measured and the applications of viscometry in the food and beverage industry. When a force or stress is applied to a fluid, it flows, ...
