Found in laboratories throughout the pharmaceutical, chemical, and life science industries viscometers allow researchers to quantify the viscosity of a fluid under controlled flow and atmospheric conditions. In a viscometrical measurement, numerous variables can impact flow behavior and viscometers help to control for and manipulate these variables.
To provide the most accurate measurement in a variety of industries and use cases viscometers are available in many different types including rotational, capillary, falling ball (sphere), and kreb. While each of these provide accurate measure of viscosity, and sometimes density, the method to do so differs and should be considered based on your lab’s specific needs. Additionally, the viscosity range of viscometers can vary and should be considered before a purchasing decision made.
Modern viscometers typically provide critical automation and efficiency benefits to aid high throughput laboratories while maintaining compliance with applicable standards set forth by organizations such as ISO and ASTM.
