Viscosity tester for QC of very small samples. (Keeping Up with Auxiliaries).A new cone-and-plate, single-point 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. reportedly provides fast and easy viscosity testing of very small samples (>1 cc) on the production floor or in the QC lab. The Cap 1000+ viscometer from Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Middleboro, Mass., provides rapid sample temperature conditioning without the need for external temperature baths. The instrument can be custom configured con·fig·ure tr.v. con·fig·ured, con·fig·ur·ing, con·fig·ures To design, arrange, set up, or shape with a view to specific applications or uses: for specific viscosity ranges. Users can specify the speed or shear rate Shear rate is a measure of the rate of shear deformation:  For the simple shear case, it is just a gradient of velocity in a flowing material. , the appropriate viscosity range, and the temperature that best suits the application, and the company will select the appropriate spindle spindle: see spinning. A rotating shaft in a disk drive. In a fixed disk, the platters are attached to the spindle. In a removable disk, the spindle remains in the drive. Laptops use spindle designations to indicate the number of built-in drives. . The compact unit reportedly fits any test bench. Tel (800) 628-8139, www.brookfieldengineering.com |
