Propylene Glycol Flow and Viscometer Tests

In this experiment, a Cannon-Fenske viscometer measures the viscosities of several propylene glycol solutions. The goal is to determine the relationship between viscosity and composition.

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow and it is a useful parameter in the design of efficient product processing and quality control in a wide range of industries. Viscosity describes the internal friction of a moving fluid. A fluid with a high viscosity resists flow, whereas a fluid with a low viscosity flows more easily. A gla...
