Relative viscometer viscometer

Instrument for measuring the viscosity (resistance to internal flow) of a fluid. In one type, the time taken for a given volume of fluid to flow through an opening is recorded.
 

The Model 900 relative viscometer is said to be ideally suited for measuring the viscosity of concentrated and dilute polymer solutions. The Model 900 features a patented dual capillary bridge technology. It is a closed loop system, versus an open tube, which is said to significantly reduce operator exposure to potentially harmful solvents. It reports relative, specific, inherent, reduced, intrinsic and absolute viscosity Noun 1. absolute viscosity - a measure of the resistance to flow of a fluid under an applied force
coefficient of viscosity, dynamic viscosity

coefficient - a constant number that serves as a measure of some property or characteristic
, as well as molecular weight. (Viscotek)

Fatigue testing equipment

An electromagnetic actuator A mechanism that causes a device to be turned on or off, adjusted or moved. The motor and mechanism that moves the head assembly on a disk drive or an arm of a robot is called an actuator. See access arm.  is the basis for a series of high frequency materials testers. The testers are said to offer significant improvements over conventional hydraulic and pneumatic devices typically used. They also feature the WinTest control system offering real-time data Real-time data denotes information that is delivered immediately after collection. There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided.

Some uses of this term confuse it with the term dynamic data.
 acquisition and graphic displays, and multi-station control from a single PC. The ELF 3200 Series of tabletop, multi-axis loading systems perform basic materials tests, including axial, axial/torsion, fretting, biaxial biaxial /bi·ax·i·al/ (-ak´se-al) having, pertaining to, or occurring in two axes.  and planar A technique developed by Fairchild Instruments that creates transistor sublayers by forcing chemicals under pressure into exposed areas. Planar superseded the mesa process and was a major step toward creating the chip.  biaxial fatigue tests. (Bose/EnduraTec Systems)

Laboratory extruder

The PolyDrive extruder is said to be a self-contained laboratory scale extrusion system, used for small batch sample production, optimizing one's extrusion process, or producing samples in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Features include a wide range of dies and downstream equipment available for process simulation, wide torque and speed range, enabling extreme versatility in testing, and processing and measuring procedures can be saved for later recall and display, according to according to
prep.

X-ray gauging system

A low-intensity x-ray gauging system is said to provide comprehensive data and production-line control of foam core pipe with solid inner and outer skins. The Rayex Model 220P for on-line measurement of wall thickness, diameter, ovality and foam expansion rate is applicable to single or multiple layer pipe, and tube and pipe products not measured by ultrasonic systems.
