One of the most common configurations is the “U” shape capillary of the Ostwald viscometer presented in Figure 2A. These instruments are usually operated in a thermally-stabilized bath and after the ...

Knowing the viscosity of a lubricant is critical for condition monitoring. As a result, field-based users need portable viscometers to immediately assess critical equipment while working on-site.

In this article, we will consider what viscosity is, how it is measured and the applications of viscometry in the food and beverage industry. When a force or stress is applied to a fluid, it flows, ...
