This question is often best answered by example. Imagine a styrofoam cup with a hole in the bottom. If I then pour honey into the cup I will find that the cup drains very slowly. That is because honey ...

Polymer size is an important feature of macromolecules, such as biopolymers, and can be quantified by analyzing measurements of polymer solution viscosity. The polymer should be dissolved at low ...

The thinner in oil is the easier it pumps through the engine, which leads to a fuel economy improvement. We can all understand that, but there's a lot more to oil viscosity than how thick it is. I ...

When it comes to determining and choosing an oil weight, none of it involves weight as we commonly think of it—there are no weight scales involved in weighing oil. Instead, in this circumstance, ...

Every fleet owner should know the basics about the viscosity of the lubricants they are using and why the viscosity matters. Fleets—especially mixed ones—require a variety of lubricants. This ranges ...

However, traditional methods (such as ASTM D445) are hindered by high maintenance needs, extensive manual input requirements, and time-consuming operations. The advanced patented technology utilized ...
