Guide to Selecting a Laboratory Rotational Viscometer for Coatings Development
This article introduces how to select a laboratory rotational viscometer in coatings research and development. It first explains the principle of rotational viscometers measuring viscosity based on shear resistance, and then points out that key parameters to consider during selection include measurement range, shear rate, temperature control, and rotor configuration.
Practical Guide to Selecting Rotors and Speeds for Rotational Viscometers
A rotational viscometer measures viscosity by detecting the resistance encountered by a rotor rotating in the sample. When selecting a rotor, it is necessary to consider the estimated viscosity range of the sample, ensuring that the torque reading falls within 10% to 90% of the instrument's measurement range, while also taking into account the sample volume and rheological properties.
Comparison of Rotational Viscometer and Capillary Rheometer in Testing the Flowability of Resin Processing
The rotational viscometer measures torque via rotor rotation, making it suitable for testing the static or low-shear fluidity of resins under low shear rates, with simple and quick operation. The capillary rheometer, on the other hand, forces samples through a capillary to simulate high-shear processing, providing flow data closer to actual production conditions, but it is more complex and time-consuming to operate.
