Types of Viscometers

There are several types of viscometers, each suitable for different applications:

• Capillary Viscometer: Measures the time it takes for a known volume of fluid to flow through a capillary tube.
• Falling Ball Viscometer: Measures the time it takes for a ball of known density and size to fall through a fluid.
• Rotational Viscometer: Measures the torque required to rotate a spindle or cone in a fluid.
• Vibrating Viscometer: Measures the damping of a vibrating element immersed in the fluid.
• Bubble Viscometer: Measures the time it takes for a bubble to rise through a fluid.
