BROOKFIELD RESPONDS: Q+A
CUSTOMER CHALLENGE: Viscosity measurement for non-Newtonian solutions5/13/2009I would like to know if there is a way to give one single viscosity measurement for a non-Newtonian solution (ie. this solution has a viscosity of this) without constraining it a specific shear rate. I was thinking of using the coefficient of thixotrophy (slope of the viscosity-1 verse rate of shear graph) but don't know if there is a better or easier way. BROOKFIELD ANSWERS: There isn't one "universal" measurement that can be used to describe a particular non-Newtonian material's rheology, to the best of my knowledge. However, ...read more |

CUSTOMER CHALLENGE: Storage Stability3/2/2008 1"How can I evaluate storage stability?" BROOKFIELD ANSWERS: Storage stability can be evaluated by testing retained samples periodically using an up-down speed or shear rate ramp. The test data provides a "flow ...read more |
