The extent to which a
liquid resists a tendency to
flow is defined as
viscosity. In the coatings
industry, this behaviour is
one of the key
parameters.
Elcometer manufactures
and supplies a wide range
of viscosity gauges from
flow cups and dip cups to
rotational viscometers
Flow Cups: The process
of flow through an orifice
can often be used as a
relative measurement and
classification of viscosity.
This measured kinematic
viscosity is generally
expressed in seconds of
flow time which can be
converted into Centistokes
using a viscosity disc
calculator.
Dip Cups: Using the same
principle to the flow cups,
dip cups – Frikmar, Zahn,
Shell, etc – can be used to
provide a quick viscosity
measurement on the shop
floor or on site
Rotational: Rotational
viscometers are used to
determine the viscosity of
liquids which do not
depend solely on
temperature and pressure.
The behaviour of non-
Newtonian liquids can be
determined using a range
of rotational viscometers. |
