• Electro-magnetically spinning method
• Viscosity measurement
• Disposable
• Non-contact

Viscosity is an essential mechanical property for the industrial use of liquid materials, such as transportation, mixing and coating. The measurement technique of the viscosity has made, however, less progress in recent years and the conventional method cannot satisfy user's demands. Requirement arises, for example, to the rapid observation, small quantity of samples, and completely closed system for the viscosity measurement. We introduce here the Electro-Magnetically Spinning (EMS) method, which can solve problems of the conventional methods. This method has unique features such as, non-contact and rapid measurement, small sample volume, disposable usage, measurement under hermetically sealed condition. We also introduce some applications of the EMS viscometer.
