CUMBRIA, U.K. — Venturi flow meters are used extensively in the measurement of gas and other low viscosity fluids, such as hot water, solvents and fuels, and are a proven technology due to their ease ...

High-viscosity fluids, on the other hand, behave quite differently. They flow slowly, resist deformation, and, in some cases, act more like solids than liquids, posing challenges when it comes to ...

Viscosity is usually measured on a bulk scale by exposing the fluid under test to shear forces. The resistance against the shear force, caused by the internal friction of the fluid, can be measured ...

In this article, we will consider what viscosity is, how it is measured and the applications of viscometry in the food and beverage industry. When a force or stress is applied to a fluid, it flows, ...

To understand viscosity, laminar flow must be understood. This is when a gas or fluid flowing over a surface results in the molecules next to the surface having zero speed. As the distance from the ...
