Viscosity changes with temperature, and it is recommended to use calibration oils certified at the specific temperature for optimal viscometer performance. Image Credit: Paul N. Gardner Company, Inc.

I was kind of shocked and amazed by a recent publication in NanoLetters. It seems that viscosity measurements are still difficult. In my ignorance, I had assumed that this was a solved problem. And, ...

This article explores viscosity, covering definitions, measurement considerations, viscometer selection, and the symbiotic relationship between viscosity and rheology. The critical elements to ...

Anton Paar is proud to announce the release of Lovis 2001, a state-of-the-art rolling-ball viscometer, designed for laboratories requiring precise viscosity measurements, especially for low-viscosity ...

Viscosity is a key property of fluids, influencing diffusion, mobility and quite a few other features. There are many methods for measuring macroscopic viscosity, but determining microscopic viscosity ...

Sound waves can measure viscosity on the fly. Though viscosity is the degree to which a fluid resists flow, it is more specifically a measure of a fluid's molecular friction. It can be a useful ...

Based on an acoustic viscosity measurement technique, the hermetically sealed VISmart solid-state viscosity sensor is unaffected by vibrations or flow conditions, and needs no calibration. Immersed in ...

AMETEK Brookfield, the world standard for viscosity measurement and control, offers its Practical Course on Viscosity Measurements. This popular course was created to help AMETEK Brookfield Viscometer ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In medical applications, artificial micro/nanorobots have gained a lot of attention over the last decade due to their promise to behave as ingestible vehicles of drug delivery to ...

The viscosity, or stickiness, of a liquid can be measured about 1,000 times faster than previously, providing researchers with a unique window for exploring the inner workings of biological cells. The ...

The study highlights the importance of shear-thinning behavior in artificial tears, crucial for mimicking natural tear properties and ensuring ocular surface protection. Hyaluronic acid's ...
