This can include other physical testing procedures like vibration testing or flammability testing to simulate other conditions the product may be exposed to. That’s why we generally recommend combining viscosity testing with other test procedures we offer. Often, just one testing procedure isn’t enough to accurately predict how a product will behave in the hands of end users or in its intended operating conditions. No matter the application, we have a viscosity testing method that will work for your product and provide you with actionable information directly relevant to your product. Or, in a different vein, a dipping sauce produced by a food and beverage manufacturer may be too runny (low viscosity) or too difficult to pour (high viscosity). For instance, in an industrial application, one may need to know the viscosity of a liquid fuel, as a high viscosity liquid requires more power to pump than a low viscosity liquid. Gathering relevant data about viscosity lets manufacturers and commercial operations predict how a product will behave in the real world. Whether you need to test the viscosity of a liquid solution or check for high viscosity, Cross can help. That’s just one of the reasons Cross has become a go-to test solutions provider for so many in the industrial and commercial worlds. At Cross, we have experience with a wide variety of industries and a wide range of industry-specific standards. More importantly, our expert scientists interpret and effectively communicate the resulting data for real solutions that make a difference to our client’s bottom line and business success.Many different industries regularly make use of viscosity testing, as well as other physical testing procedures.

Utilizing these techniques, we can separate, identify and quantify chemical components of a material. We can support research and development activities for your company or become your virtual R&D analytical chemistry laboratory. Our unique approach applies multiple methods of chemical analysis and state-of-the-art instrumentation to help clients understand a product’s chemistry.

Perform chemical analysis or testing in support of litigation.

Reverse engineer (deformulate) a competitor’s product.

Perform comparison analytical testing between products.Understand the chemical “recipe” of a product.Assist in determining the source of chemical contamination.Investigate the cause or causes of failure.

Identify complex additives in various product types.
