Water based fluids
Manufactured water based fluids have become very prominent in the last few years. These "friendly" fluids vary by by their constituent components as well as from batch to batch. From manufacture to finished article, the fluid can go through a large range of of deformation rates, as well as experiencing different kinds of flow. This makes understanding and controlling the rheology of of these fluids a desirable subject.
DrRheology can support manufacturers and end users by testing the fluid, as well as calculating flow performance. The key tests offered below will allow product and process development, as well as supplying spot checks for QC.
