Viscometer and Accessory

Viscosity is the measure of how resistant a material is to motion when you apply force to it. A viscometer (also called viscosimeter) is an instrument used to measure the viscosity of a fluid such as oil, plastics, paints, coatings, adhesives, wax, asphalt, etc. The viscosity of a liquid can affect its performance, whether this is pumping or piping it, or how it performs for dipping and coating. The viscosity of a material is also a useful indirect measure of its properties, such as molecular weight and density. These material properties can affect flow behavior. Viscometers or viscosimeters are important to many industries, including the adhesive, biotech, chemical, food, paint, petroleum, and pharmaceutical industries.
