  • Building and Validating a Rotational Viscometer Brian Cherrington & Jack Rothstein Mechanical Engineering Faculty Mentors: Dr
    Building and Validating a Rotational Viscometer Brian Cherrington & Jack Rothstein Mechanical Engineering Faculty Mentors: Dr. Maria-Isabel Carnasciali, Dr. Samuel Daniels Abstract This project was an effort to redesign an initial prototype rotational viscometer to experimentally test whether or not viscosity values vary significantly when the geometry of the viscometer is changed. The scope of the project involved designing and building a viscometer that could vary the gap between the inner and outer cylinders, variation of the testing fluid’s temperature, and control of the device’s RPM. After weeks of planning, designing, and fabrication the new viscometer was complete. In order to control the device, monitor the sensor readings, and calculate the testing fluid’s viscosity a LabVIEW program was created. Testing on medium to high viscous fluids was completed to determine if the viscosity values and the geometry of the viscometer are dependent or independent of each other. The results did show a correlation between measured viscosity and variations in the geometry of the viscometer. More testing is required to further verify the results and properly calibrate the device. Introduction For this project a new design was conceptualized, fabricated, and tested. This new design met several criteria including, Viscosity is often referred to as a fluid’s thickness or how much it resists deformation due to an applied force. Designed for future use in ME labs; Rotational viscometers measure the amount of torque needed Designed to be durable, sustainable, and easy to to rotate an object moving through fluid at a known RPM. dissemble and clean; Using the measured torque, RPM, and dimensions of the Multiple inner cylinders for varying gap sizes; device, the viscosity can be calculated using equation 1.

  • Physical Quantity Measured by a Vibration Viscometer (Re: JCSS Standardization of Viscosity)
    Article for the 23rd Sensing Forum Theme: Physical Quantity Measured by a Vibration Viscometer (Re: JCSS Standardization of Viscosity) Presented by: Naoto Izumo R&D Division, A&D Company, Limited October 2 ~ 3, 2006 Tsukuba Center Inc. Tsukuba, JAPAN Physical Quantity Measured by a Vibration Viscometer Subtitle: The JCSS Standardization of Viscosity Naoto Izumo R&D Division, A&D Co., Ltd. Higashi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo 170-0013 Japan Abstract The objective of this article is to introduce a viscometer that utilizes a new viscosimetry measuring method. In addition, the article will recommend a new unit system, which is utilized in the vibration viscometer. Using examples, the article explains JCSS viscosity standardization and recent requirements for viscosity measurements. Keywords: Vibration Viscometer, Static Viscosity (Viscosity × Density), Viscosity JCSS, Cloud Point Introduction The following is an introduction of the vibration viscometer, a new method for measuring viscosity. In addition to providing a description of the physical quantity that is measured using the vibration viscometer, a new unit system for viscosity will be proposed. Furthermore, there is an explanation regarding the Japan Calibration Service System (JCSS) standardization of viscosity and viscosity measurements using actual examples. There is also discussion of recent requirements for measuring viscosity. History and Development of Viscosity Measurement The history of viscosity measurements is extensive and is believed to date back to when people began measuring the viscosities of engine oils with the advent of the automobile industry in the United States. In the U.S., it had become necessary to control the viscosities of engine oils as a method of maintaining the performance of engines.

  • Protocol: Measuring Viscosity of Cosmetics with Microvisctm
    Protocol: Measuring Viscosity of Cosmetics with microVISCTM Key Words: Face lotion, hand lotion, cream, viscosity, shear thinning, cleaning, high shear, non-Newtonian fluid, protocol, thixotropy Goal: Cosmetic lotions are often non-Newtonian fluids with yield stresses and thixotropic structure. These properties are vital for their function as selfcare products, but also make their rheological properties difficult to characterize. In particular, data collection can be time consuming and instrument cleaning can be challenging. This application note will share an easy-to-implement protocol to precisely measure complex cosmetic formulations using VROC technology. Introduction Skin care is an important part of personal healthcare. The epidermis is one of the body’s largest organs and is the first line of defense against pathogens, so maintaining and promoting healthy skin is vital for healthy life. Skincare products, specifically lotions, have been used for decades to promote skin health. When developing these products, manufacturers must carefully choose ingredients that must meet both consumer tastes and regulatory standards. These constraints make it vital to characterize lotion formulations, but also these criteria make consistent and fast measurements more challenging. Lotions are comprised of multiple materials including polymers, oils, waxes, gels, and silicones (Sharma et al. 2018). These ingredients can dramatically alter the viscosity of the lotion, but also make measuring viscosity difficult, messy, and variable. The combination of these ingredients can even cause lotions to behave as thixotropic materials. Thixotropy is the time dependent shear thinning property of non-Newtonian fluids (Mewis 1979). Thixotropic materials will slowly return to their high viscosity state once shearing has ceased.

    Visco handbook THEORY AND APPLICATION OF VISCOMETRY WITH GLASS CAPILLARY VISCOMETERS Welcome to SI Analytics! We express our core competence, namely the production of analytical instruments, with our company name SI Analytics. SI also stands for the main products of our company: sensors and instruments. As part of the history of SCHOTT® AG, SI Analytics has nearly 80 years experience in glass technology and in the development of analytical equipment. As always, our products are manufactured in Mainz with a high level of innovation and quality. Our electrodes, titrators and capillary viscometers will continue to be the right tools in any location where expertise in analytical measurement technology is required. In 2011 SI Analytics became part of the listed company Xylem Inc., headquartered in Rye Brook / N.Y., USA. Xylem is a leading international provider of water solutions. We are pleased to introduce you to the Visco Handbook! It replaces the previous brochure "Theory and Practice of Capillary Viscometry". This has been updated, redesigned and restructured. The information content of some areas such as polymer analysis was increased and specially themed areas such as hydrodynamic principles were moved into their own appendices so as not to deter the reader by too much theory. The focus was placed on the practical and general information needed by each user of capillary viscometry. Both laboratory experiences and policies of the relevant standards are considered here. We thus hope to provide you with a faithful companion for everyday laboratory work, one that you can use profitably. We of SI Analytics are pleased to work with you successfully in the future.
