Viscosity is a term that people in the plastic injection molding industry talk about quite often, so it is something we will discuss in more detail during the next three tech tips. Viscosity measures the thickness of a fluid. The thicker the fluid, the higher the viscosity. In other words, viscosity is resistance to flow. There are various methods used to measure viscosity and all three will be talked about in the upcoming tech tips, but this tech tip will start with capillary rheometers.

“Of all the training seminars that I have attended over the past 10 years, this one ranks at the top! The explanations of clamp tonnage, cooling strategies, viscosity, and key mold design components are just a few of the takeaways that will be very useful in my job function.”
“I was amazed at the amount of expertise and knowledge presented in just two days. Many myths were debunked, numerous scientific explanations for the way we should be thinking about plastic flow were given, and various real-world examples were used to show how plastic flows.”
