CUSTOMER CHALLENGE: Mixing two different viscosities

5/22/2008

How Do I Mix Different Viscosities?

BROOKFIELD ANSWERS: We know from experience that mixing fluids, even viscosity standard fluids which are 'Newtonian', does not have a convenient formula for combining specific volumes ...read more

CUSTOMER CHALLENGE: Viscosity of Material Being Pumped

5/22/2008

How can I better understand the Viscosity of Material Being Pumped?

BROOKFIELD ANSWERS: ANSWER: Understanding the viscosity of the material being pumped can help you to properly specify a pump for a given situation. Engineering firms use ...read more

CUSTOMER CHALLENGE: Batch Consistency

4/25/2008

"How do I get consistent readings from Batch to Batch - cooking soups, sauces, beans, gumbo, etc?"

BROOKFIELD ANSWERS: The key is to measure viscosity using a spindle and rotational speed that can provide meaningful data. Formulations like gumbos have lots of food ...read more

View the viscosity of water at temperatures between 0 - 100° C.

See the Table

Instant view of some dynamic viscosities of Newtonian fluids.

See the Table

The cup to viscosity conversion engine assumes fluid is Newtonian.

See the Table
