What Is It About Viscosity?
Understanding and Testing of Viscosity in Coatings Viscosity tells us how thick or thin a liquid is. Coating viscosity is the property of a fluid that causes it not to flow easily because of the resistance of its molecules. When we use coatings, we need to understand viscosity, because it is key to accurate application, […]
Why and How Viscosity is Measured
Viscosity Overview Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. It describes the internal friction of a moving fluid due to its molecular makeup. A high viscosity (thick) fluid resists motion because of high internal friction, while a low viscosity (thin) fluid flows readily because of low internal friction. Viscosity is measured because […]
Is it the Weather?
High Temperatures and High Humidity June brings on summer in the northern hemisphere and with it the possibility of high temperatures and high humidity. The last decade has brought on several unusually hot summers and even warmer than usual winters. Whether or not global warming is caused by industrialization and its practices or the result […]
