Better temperature control means better viscometry results

THE LATEST addition to RheoSense’s VROC (viscometer/rheometer-on-a-chip) family, the Microvisc TC, provides precise temperature control for the handheld Microvisc viscometer.  Temperature dependence is one of the most important factors in determining viscosity, and a tiny variation can generate significantly errors…

Measure viscosity at high shear with E chip

MEASURING viscosity at high shear rates is a challenge with conventional instruments, as the instigation of turbulent or unstable fluid flow makes measurements unreliable. The standard way of dealing with this problem is to make multiple measurements, but this requires…

Viscosity measurement in tiny samples

A NEW viscosity test protocol from Rheosense demonstrates how it is possible to obtain accurate test measurements on samples as small as 20ul. The company says this is the the lowest sample volume requirement available, and is achieveable with its…
