Viscosity\u00a0is\u00a0often referred to as the thickness of a fluid,\u00a0where water has a low viscosity and honey has a high viscosity. There are two methods for determination of the viscosity\u00a0of a material, kinematic and dynamic, and both can be\u00a0determined\u00a0under controlled temperature. The kinematic method uses gravity to force the sample through a glass viscometer (such as Ubbelohde) containing a capillary of known dimensions. This technique is good for Newtonian fluids and can be used to determine the intrinsic or inherent viscosity of a material.<\/p>\n

The dynamic method used a specific geometry and a motor to apply a force on the test sample. A Brookfield viscometer with a spindle and small sample adapter is an example of the equipment that can be used to determine the dynamic viscosity of materials.\u00a0Impact Analytical can offer both\u00a0techniques\u00a0using such rotational methods as\u00a0described in ASTM D2983, D4016 or D1824,\u00a0or capillary methods such as ASTM D445.<\/p>\n

One important use of viscosity determination is that for dilute solutions of polymers. For most polymers, there is a relationship between average molar mass and the relative increase of viscosity in dilute solution. Viscosity is dependent on molecular weight distribution, so under certain conditions, correlations can be made between dilute-solution viscosity and molecular parameters such as molecular weight or polymer chain length. There are several ASTM and ISO standards for dilute solution viscosity procedures for specific polymers.<\/div>\n
