Chip combines viscometer and rheometer
The small chip geometry extends viscosity measurements beyond conventional instrumentation limits into the realm of very high shear rates.
RheoSense has introduced a precisely micro-fabricated viscometer/rheometer on a chip (VROC) It enables microlitre samples to be used for high- resolution, accurate and repeatable viscosity measurement
The small chip geometry extends viscosity measurements beyond conventional instrumentation limits into the realm of very high shear rates.
Although many industry processes involve very high shear flow, the viscosity of liquids is typically not measured at the shear rates experienced in these processes.
This is due to limitations in conventional instrumentation.
The VROC changes the measurement landscape allowing viscosity characterisation at the conditions occurring in actual applications.
The chip is packaged in a small form factor allowing testing and cleaning in just minutes.
