Density How to measure viscosity - Viscosity measurement is the act of determining the thickness or
flowablity of a liquid at a given rate, and is calculated in one to millions of centipoise (cps). The Paul
Dispersion
Gardner Company offers a full line of viscosity measurement solutions for lab and field including Zahn
Drum Handling viscosity cups, viscometers or viscosimeters, viscosity oil standards and calibration services. Our
laboratory is accredited by ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board in accordance to ISO/IEC
Drying Time/Gelation
17025:2017 in the field of calibration and works in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001.
