Rheology is the study of the deformation and flow of fluid systems; consistency, thickness, thinness and the like. We are an experienced rheology and viscosity testing laboratory. We test materials ranging from liquids to soft solids.
Need to study the flow behavior of your raw materials or products? We have the tools, laboratory resources and experience to give you dependable and reliable results. Our expertise includes both steady shear viscosity or viscoelasticity measurements. Strain, frequency, temperature and time sweeps are in our typical rheology testing suite.
We are Simply Rheology
Below is an example of the frequency sweep of a linear polymer solution. This solution is a rheology modifier, evaluated at 10 radians/s and room temperature.
We can help you select rheology or viscosity tests and test conditions. We can develop test methods best suited for your research or manufacturing needs. Our practical experience of more than 30 years includes pharmaceutical ointments, lotions and creams, foods, beverages, adhesives, process chemicals. Everyday we work with materials that range from low viscosity fluids to soft solids. We can help you put together a suite of measurements or single test to meet your immediate objectives. We are Simply Rheology.
Fluid Dynamics Testing LLC makes rheology accessible and meaningful to the R&D and QC industrial community. For those lacking internal rheology or viscosity measurement resources, Rheology Central is an outsourcing resource for testing and research. We offer a quick turn around generally within 24 hours and maintain confidentiality with all of our customers.
We have worked with clients over the years to get a better understanding of the relationship of complex property:performance correlations. Does the rheology influence consumer preferences? How thick is the paint and how easy is it to apply to the wall? Is the moisturizer too stringy? Is it difficult to cleanly dispense from the tube? Understanding the rheology and the flow behavior enables one to better understand the correlations of flow and consumer preferences.
