Viscosity: Sun Burn Treatment Gel
3 May 2013Rheological data may be obtained using several methods. This application note describes three very different yet suitable tests to obtain rheological data from Sunburn Treatment Gel. Methods were carried out on the Brookfield RVDV-II+Pro, Brookfield RVYR-1 and Brookfield RVDV-III+, respectively.

RheometryRheometers are used to measure the rheology of fluids, which is the flow of fluids in response to an applied force. The most common types of rheometer include shear rheometers (capillary, cone and plate and rotational cylinder) and extensional rheometers. Viscometers are similar to rheometers however viscometers only measure the viscosity of a fluid.ViscometersViscometers are used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. Types of viscometer include rotational, vibrational and falling piston viscometers. Options for viscometers include modular, portable, benchtop and temperature compensation and density measurement features.
