    Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Thicker, more viscous fluids have higher resistance to flow than thinner, less viscous fluids. Viscosity is determined by measuring the shear stress and shear rate of a fluid. There are different types of viscosity measurements including static viscosity, which is influenced by gravity, and dynamic viscosity, which is not. Factors like temperature, shear stress, pressure, and time can influence a fluid's viscosity. Some materials have nonlinear viscosity and are called non-Newtonian fluids. Common examples are materials that become thicker or thinner with changes in shear rate. Viscosity is an important property measured for many industrial and consumer products.

    Original Description:

    Viscosity is an important parameter for any type of product particularly liquid based.

    Rheology

    Elastic like

    Visco-elastic solids
    Deformed but does not regain its original shape

    Visco-elastic liquids
    Deformed but does not regain its original shape but flows out
    when squeezed

    Viscous liquids
    Flows freely

    What is viscosity?

    What is viscosity?
    VISCOSITY
    Viscosity is “the measure of a fluid’s internal flow resistance”

    Thick fluid Thin fluid


    High viscous Low viscous
    [Push, Pull or wipe/Gravity]
    Viscosity, h= Shear Stress/ Shear rate = τ/ν

    UNITS
    Shear stress, ν = Force/Area = N/m2 = Pascal
    Shear rate, τ = Velocity/Distance =m/s/m = s-1

    Shear viscosity, h= τ/ν = Pascal/s-1 = Pas

    Types of viscosity?
    VISCOSITY
    Static viscosity Dynamic viscosity
    [Kinematic viscosity] [Shear, Absolute, Apparent viscosity]

    Under the influence of earth’s gravity NOT under the influence of gravity

    KV= Dynamic viscosity/ Density

    Units

    1 Pas = 1000 mPas

    1 St = 100 cSt 1 Poise = 100 centipoise

    1cSt = mm2/Sec 1 centipoise = 1 mPas

    1Pas = 10P = 1000cP or mPas

    Viscosity influencers: Temperature, Degree of shear stress, Level of pressure, Time

    Viscosity- Let’s recall
    Which are ideally viscous or shear dependent material ???

    Viscosity Measurement
    Kinematic Viscosity
    Gravity & Density: Distance vs Time

    I. Standard test methods (Static)


    • Cup & Capillaries
    • Moving elements (Ball,rod,needle)
    Based on cups methods are SUS or SSU & SSF*
    replaced by capillaries based method
    *Units: Saybolt universal seconds ,saybolt seconds furol

    Merits & Demerits


    Handling, low& high viscosity, time, error

    Viscosity Measurement
    II. Standard test methods (Dynamic)
    • Rotation

    ROTATIONAL or BROOKFIELD VISCOMETER:


    Stress /torque required to keep the rpm constant

    7
    Non Newtonian

    TIME INDEPENDANT
    1. Shear thickening or Dilatant :
    Eg. cream becomes butter, clay slurries
    Increase in viscosity with increase in shear rate

    2. Shear thinning or Pseudoplatic: eg. Emulsions & dispersions


    Decrease in viscosity with increase in shear rate

    3. Bingham Plastic: Eg. Tooth paste, tomato ketchup, mayonnaise


    (material where flow is undesired under standing conditions)
    Has internal forces which hold it from flowing
    below certain value of shear stress

    8
    Non Newtonian
    TIME DEPENDANT
    Thixotropic: Eg. Tomato ketchup, mayonnaise (gel-sol)

    Decrease in viscosity with increase in shear rate and then up on stopping shear, they
    regain its structure but time dependent
