Anton Paar aims that by the time you leave the viscosity workshop you will be able to:
Practical viscosity
- Understand the basic theory associated with viscosity
- Design meaningful experiments to measure viscosity of your sample
- Different ways of measuring viscosity
- Choosing spindle and speed for simple test methods
- Checking instrument performance and calibrations
- Appreciate the potential problems and pitfalls in making a measurement
- Interpret the resulting data
Introduction to rheology
- Understanding shear stress and shear rates as it relates to your products and their processes
- How does rheology determine how your products flow?
- Yield stress and Thixotropy: how do they govern real-life flow?
- Hands on session on different viscosity measuring instruments.
