Precisely a viscometer can measure the viscosity’s quality. The installation of new technology like rheometer-on-a-chip, innovative MEMS and microfluidics provides more precise and accurate measurement of viscosity of a substance/material. Moreover, such technologies make it very easy to operate and take a reading of viscosity.

Preciseness Defines a Quality Viscometer Viscometer is used to measure the viscosity of amaterialorfluid’sresistancetoflowunder an applied stressinaprovidedenvironment.Viscosityisrepresentedbythesymbolη"eta" which is the ratio of the shearing stress to the velocity gradient in a fluid. Precisely a viscometer can measure the viscosity’s quality. The installation of new technology like rheometeronachip, innovative MEMS and microfluidics provides more precise and accurate measurement of viscosity of a substance/material. Moreover, such technologies make it very easy to operate and take a reading of viscosity. Why to measure viscosity: The measurement of viscosity is considered to see the behavior of a fluid material in a particular environment and design. Since viscosity of a material changes dramatically with temperature, engineers or experts use viscometer to understand what will happen to fuel fluids in different temperatures and pressures. This instrument is widely used in research labs to measure new as well as existing fluids’ viscosities for industrial applications. Now, viscometers are being used extensively in different industries for quality control. Types of Viscometer: There are several types of viscometers being used in laboratories and industries. The portable viscosity testers are most used in commercial applications. UTube Viscometers are mostly used laboratory settings. Falling sphere viscometers, falling piston viscometers, rotational viscometers, bubble viscometers, and rheometers are some other types of viscometers that are available with technicalinnovationstomeasureplasma viscosity. Different forms of viscometers are being explored as per the requirements of smallsamplevolume,highshearrates,differenttemperatures,qualitymonitoringandother research works.
Applications of Viscometers: The application of viscometers inwidevarietyofmaterialandchemicalindustriesisproved. They are extensively used in quality control for food and beverages, cosmetic products, chemical items, and researchanddevelopment.Indifferentprocessconditionsofmaterials, they are needed to be pumped and flow in different shapes and designs. A material’s viscosity is important to consider in its dipping and coating performance. For example,inks,paints,toothpastesandchocolatesaresomeproductsthatneedviscosityand texture application in different temperatures and circumstances. Rheometers are applied to measure a material’s properties like molecular weight and density that virtually affect its flow behavior. It’s a usual instrument of technical sales department to test viscosity of a fluid material. Viscometry is taken in mineral oils and lubricants including motor oil, fuel oil, and gas well drilling fluids. Other commercial applications of plasma viscometer include adhesive materials, beverages, chemicals, food products, paints & coatings, petroleum products.
