Everything about Viscometer
Scientific instrument used to measure viscosity
A viscometer is an instrument used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. Viscometers can only measure constant viscosity, that is, viscosity that does not change with flow conditions. For liquids with viscosities which vary with flow conditions, an instrument called a rheometer is used. Thus, a rheometer can be considered as a special type of viscometer. Wikipedia ā
