The ABC’s of Viscosity Measurement

Brookfield (USA), manufacturers for viscosity measurement and control, offers two hands-on courses that equip users of Brookfield instruments with the knowledge to get the most out of their viscosity test methods. These one-day training sessions are presented in easy-to-understand terms that give attendees the working know-how to verify and improve upon the data required for meaningful R&D and successful QC testing.

The courses are offered at Brookfield’s headquarters in Middleboro, MA., and at major metropolitan areas across the United States. Arrangements can also be made to conduct courses at customers’ facilities where content can be adapted to their specific product applications.

"Practical course on viscosity measurements" provides attendees with the tools and concepts they need to make the most precise viscosity measurements possible. The course is designed to benefit all operators from beginner to advanced. Participants are encouraged to bring product samples for testing where hands-on time is provided in a relaxed laboratory environment.

"Applied course on viscosity test methods" is designed for the intermediate to advanced Brookfield Instrumentation user in R&D, Analytical, and Process Engineering functions. Focusing on test methods and techniques, it will review and discuss how Brookfield rotational viscometers and rheometers can be used to provide meaningful product analysis. The course takes you beyond pass/fail criteria, to an understanding of how to apply viscometric data as a problem solving and product performance/processing tool.
