New Technologies for Measuring Viscosity: Using Mobile Applications

Abstract

A new technology for viscosity measurements with using mobile applications was suggested. The technology is based on a known method of a viscosity measurement trough defining characteristics of ball movement in a viscous environment, but its difference that the character of ball movement which setting by an external magnetic field. The technology provides for the processing of primary measurement signals, which taken from measuring inductors, using installed on a smartphone software conjugate with a measuring device. This allows to significantly reducing the cost of equipment which designed to measure viscosity. These systems, designed to measure viscosity, are in fact the first step to create a whole range of different laboratory devices for currently use, including in the chemistry of high molecular weight compounds.
