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 ...

There are few industries as demanding as the chemical and petrochemical industry when it comes to liquid flow measurement and control. Positive Displacement flow measurement devices, such as Titan ...

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, ...

Viscometers are used by the food industry to ensure the consistency and quality of liquid foods. Zwick Roell claims its new tester provides what the company claims is an economical alternative to ...

Pharmaceutical companies have increasingly focused on developing high-concentration protein therapeutics that enable patients to treat themselves at home by self injection. However, the formulation of ...

Understanding viscosity in binary liquid mixtures is critical for numerous industrial and research applications. Viscosity, the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, is not only influenced by ...

A consortium led by the University of Birmingham ’s School of Engineering is to develop a new generation of rheometers. These new micro devices will be developed in partnership with industrial ...

Polymer size is an important feature of macromolecules, such as biopolymers, and can be quantified by analyzing measurements of polymer solution viscosity. The polymer should be dissolved at low ...
