Viscosity

Viscosity is the degree to which a fluid resists flow under an applied force. It describes the internal friction of a moving fluid.

The MacFarlane group have recently purchased a high quality viscosity meter. The AMVn supplied by Anton Parr determines the dynamic and kinematic viscosity of transparent and opaque liquids fully automatically. It is based on the rolling/falling ball principle (DIN 53015 and ISO 12058) and ideal for the measurement of low viscosity substances.

The viscosity machine can be booked online. Book here.
