Viscosity related glossary

sticky term

Below is a list of terms commonly used in the field of viscosity measurement and control.

pendulum

Spindle for use with PVS rheometers;

Also called a "Bob/Stator" because it doesn't spin on this instrument. The sample cup rotates instead, causing a shearing action.
