Precisely a
viscometer can measure the viscositys 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
technologiesmakeitveryeasytooperateandtakeareadingofviscosity.

Whytomeasureviscosity:

The measurement of
viscosity is considered to see the behavior of a fluid material in a
particular environment and design. Since viscosity ofamaterialchangesdramatically with
temperature, engineers or experts use
viscometer to understandwhatwill happento fuel
fluids in different temperatures and pressures. This instrument is widely used inresearch
labs to measure new as well as existing fluids viscosities for industrial applications.Now,
viscometersarebeingusedextensivelyindifferentindustriesforqualitycontrol.

TypesofViscometer:

There are several types of

viscometers being used in laboratories and industries. The
portable

researchworks.

ApplicationsofViscometers:

The application ofviscometersinwidevarietyofmaterialandchemicalindustriesisproved.

They are extensively used in quality control for food and beverages, cosmetic products,
chemicalitems,and researchanddevelopment.Indifferentprocessconditionsofmaterials,

A materials viscosity is important to consider in its dipping andcoatingperformance. For

Rheometers are applied to measure a materials properties like molecular weight and
density that virtually affect its flow behavior. Its a usual instrument of technical sales

Viscometry is taken inmineraloilsandlubricants including motoroil,fuel oil, andgas well

drilling fluids. Other commercial applications of
plasma viscometer include adhesive
materials,beverages,chemicals,foodproducts,paints&coatings,petroleumproducts.
