Viscosity is crucial in quality control and process design, affecting operations such as stirring and homogenization, pumping and packaging. In this article, we will consider what viscosity is, how it ...

The widely known principle of rotational viscometers is utilized for calculating the viscosity in most laboratory viscometers, by sensing the torque required for rotating a spindle at a constant speed ...

Increased monitoring of foodstuffs can help to establish quality attributes in real-time during the processing stage, and so permit better process control. The efficiency of a process and the quality ...

IN a recent article, Sproull 1 describes some experiments in which he measured the torque with air in a rotating cylinder viscometer and found a significant reduction of torque when the air was dusty.

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 ...
