Viscometers, Rheometers, Texture Analyzers and Powder Flow Testers

Brookfield, the world standard for viscosity measurement and control, offers two hands-on courses, the Practical Course on Viscosity Measurements and the Lab Day/Advanced Viscosity Test Methods.

Brookfield, the world standard for viscosity measurement and control, offers two hands-on courses designed to help users comprehend the functionality of their instrument and solve the mysteries of fluid behavior while creating a successful and repeatable method.

Measuring the viscosity of creamy, pasty or heterogeneous material presents a challenge for rotational viscometers when using traditional smooth geometries such as coaxial cylinder, cone-plate, or simple disk spindles.

Rotational viscometers are the most widely used tool in today's QC labs for making viscosity measurements.  Many small changes, like reduction in sample size and shortening the viscosity test time, can lead to significant increase in QC lab productivity.
