Viscosity control reduces material costs and improves product quality. The unique, patented technology of Cambridge Applied Systems is based on a simple and reliable electromagnetic viscometer. A single piston moves back and forth to sense fluid flow and provide temperature control. Viscometers are installed in-line to put fluid management right at the heart of your system. Cambridge Applied Systems is committed to resolving customers' viscosity management challenges.
Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow.
The classic definition is the ratio of shear stress to shear rate. The common metric unit of absolute viscosity is the poise, which is defined as the force in dynes to move a surface one square centimeter in area past a parallel surface at a speed of one centimeter per second, with the surfaces separated by a fluid film one centimeter thick. Take a look at our FAQ for more information or follow this link to assess competing technologies for measuring viscosity. CAS laboratory viscometers come in eight different platforms to fit a wide variety of needs and budgets for measuring viscosity and temperature. Our process viscometers include in-line, in tank, by pass and flow through designs.
