Viscosity values.
DrRheology can measure and supply viscosity and rheology measurements to clients. We can also provide calculations showing how the fluid will perform in various processes (e.g. pie flow, pumping, spraying, casting ). We can provide rheology models for existing data to enable you to use the data in various calculations. Calculations can be live (e.g.in Excel or MathCAD), or as a fixed datasheet (e.g. PDF).

DrRheology can supply viscosity values measured on almost any fluid or paste. We can convert the data to any standard model.
Disclaimer. When DrRheology supplies viscosity or rheology values as part of a project (calculation management or technical writing etc ), then the values and models are fully qualified. DrRheology can supply certified values where these are required for a critical process. Otherwise, values supplied as above should be verified for critical applications. |
