The viscosity of polymer melts is a key parameter for quality and control during every stage of the polymer manufacturing process, including injection molding, compression molding and extrusion. Molecular chain length (or molecular weight) is the most important indicator when measuring polymers across every stage. Chain length tells the operators how well the product has polymerized, which is critical for the properties of the finished product, which might be granules, film, fibers or molds. The strength, hardness and density are all key parameters for product quality, and can be controlled by viscosity. [Read more…] about Hydramotion releases polymer-melt viscometer
We import Hydramotion viscometers from the UK, so we watch the exchange rates pretty carefully. Since my post in July, the exchange rate for the US Dollar against the British Pound has actually gotten even better (for us in the US, that is!). More accurately, the rate was fairly steady, with minor fluctuations, until just the last few weeks, when it has been trending strongly downward. From what I understand, that’s due to a combination of more Brexit issues and some “Trump effect” – as it looks less likely that Donald Trump will be elected President, the US Dollar is getting stronger.

You may have a personal opinion for or against the result of the recent Brexit vote in the UK (in case you’ve been off the planet, they voted to leave the European Union…). But one bit of good news for any US business that needs premium viscometers is that the Brexit vote quickly resulted in a better exchange rate for the US Dollar against the British Pound. That means you can currently buy Hydramotion viscometers at lower prices than we’ve had in years – and thus improve your process control with precision viscometry, whether you need inline XL7 or ViscoJet viscometers for oils or food processing, a ReactaVisc for the lab, or Viscolites for ink samples on the production floor.

A common question is how the Hydramotion torsional vibration (resonant) viscometers are different from the older rotational devices. On the surface the technologies may sound similar, but they’re completely different, and in many cases you’ll get different measurements with the same fluid and conditions. That’s another question we also get a lot: why does my Brookfield lab viscometer give me viscosity readings that are so much higher than my Hydramotion inline XL7 (or ViscoJet)? Here are some of the basic answers. [Read more…] about Rotational vs. Torsional Vibration Viscometers – What’s the Big Deal??
