Mate van stromingsweerstand van een vloeistof:
- Meetmethode: Brookfield HAT
- Eenheid: millipascal seconden (mPa.s) of centipoise (cP)
Lage viscositeit: vloeibaar (water)
Hoge viscositeit: pasteus (stroop)
Viscosity
- A measure of resistance to the flow of a liquid
- Measured on a Brookfield viscometer and thermosel according to ASTM D 3236
- The viscosity of a hot melt drops as the
temperature increases
- Low viscosity – Water
- High viscosity – treacle
- Unit of viscosity – Poise, centipoise (cPs) or millipascal seconds (mPas)
