rotational viscometer
A rotational viscometer measures how thick or resistant to flow a liquid is by rotating a spindle or disk within the fluid. As the device spins, it records the torque required to turn the object, which correlates to the fluid’s viscosity. This measurement helps determine how easily a liquid flows under certain conditions. It’s commonly used in industries like food, cosmetics, and chemicals to ensure product consistency and quality. The device provides precise, repeatable readings of a liquid’s flow characteristics, making it essential for both research and quality control.
