In the same category of capillary viscometers, tube viscometers (Figure 2C) use a horizontal tube fed by a pressurized tank to determine viscosity.2 In these instruments, the pressure is determined at ...

WHEN a capillary-tube viscometer is used for determining the apparent viscosity of a suspension of discrete, solid particles in a liquid, it is found that the measured viscosity varies with the bore ...

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 ...

The most commonly used physical property for lubricants is kinematic viscosity. This article describes how using the solvent-free SpectroVisc Q3000 Series device in the field offers accurate and ...

Knowing the viscosity of a lubricant is critical for condition monitoring. As a result, field-based users need portable viscometers to immediately assess critical equipment while working on-site.

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, ...
