Viscometer for non newtonian fluids

Viscometer is a nifty tool which enables us to find out how much flowy we have got various categories of fluids. Some liquids, including water, are easily flowed and they are known as Newtonian fluids. But others, such as ketchup or paint, do not. These types of fluids are called non-Newtonian. They can become more or less viscous depending on the speed at which you stir them, or push them. That’s why choosing the correct Viscometers to measure these types of fluids is critical. ZONWON offers excellent viscometers for non-Newtonian fluids. Tools, like these, that allow industries to effectively produce and test their products for the proper standards in which they should be working.


How Do Non-Newtonian Fluid Properties Affect Viscometer Selection?

It is vital that you make the most precise measurements possible using a viscometer with a non, Newtonian fluid. Non-Newtonian fluids are exciting because they behave counter-intuitively, becoming more viscous or less viscous depending on the stirring or pushing. This is not the case for ordinary fluids such as water that are always of the same viscosity


Viscosity Gradient

Choosing the right type of automatic viscometer for your fluid is the first step in getting the best result with a viscometer. Viscometers are great tools for measuring the flow of fluids, but not all respond equally well to Non-Newtonian fluids. Some are meant for viscous pastes, for example, while others can handle rapidly changing consistencies. You also need to make sure your sample is properly prepared. The fluid must be homogeneous and free of bubbles, which can cause the readings to be off. After that, get your measurements at the right temperature. Since the behavior of many fluids changes with temperature, a thermometer can be a great help in maintaining consistency.
