Rotational viscometry is an easily used tool for determining the viscosity of fluids, including paints, petroleum products and polymer solutions. While standards often make use of rotational viscometry, a procedure for calibrating or validating the measurement is not always part of the standard, which could lead to results that differ from one laboratory to another. A proposed user viscosity…, ASTM Committee E37 Next Meeting:, March 14, 2014, ASTM International Headquarters, West Conshohocken, Pa., Technical Contact:, Roger Blaine, Corvallis, Ore., Phone: 302-559-6827; roger.l.blaine@gmail.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Tom O'Toole, Phone: 610-832-9739; totoole@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #9493
