Webinar: Methods of Viscosity Measurements

December 16, 2015 | 11:00 am PST

‘How to measure viscosity?’
In this webinar, we examine how great engineering minds have tackled this question over the years.

We trace the historical development of viscosity and viscometers; starting with the fundamental principles established by Sir Isaac Newton and leading up to modern-day viscometry methods.

Monitoring oil viscosity as a function of temperature

Posted on by Serge Dandache
Webinar :
Oil Viscosity — ​ ​
September 23, 2015
11:00 am (PST)

Monitoring oil viscosity as a function of temperature and shear rate is essential for many reasons including:

– Ensuring Oil Quality
– Oil Characterization Under Different Conditions
– Detecting Oxidation (Decay)
– Improving performance of engines & preventing mechanical failure
– Reducing wear, inhibiting corrosion, improving sealing and cooling
​This webinar will cover the analysis and characterization of oils across temperature and shear rate ranges, along with the importance of such characterization. In addition, it will cover the estimation of high-temperature viscosity values utilizing room-temperature viscosity measurement and ASTM D341.

Witec Workshop – May 24th, 2013

Posted on by matt.williams

WITec 3D Raman Imaging Meets AFM, SNOM and Profilometry Workshop. May 24th, 2013 – Université de Montréal

This workshop will give a detailed introduction to the operational principles and instrumental configurations relevant to confocal Raman and Scanning Probe Microscopy (AFM, SNOM, Pulsed Force Mode). Our Speakers will cover several aspects of Raman and SPM imaging and their fields of applications. An extensive system demonstration gives the participants the opportunity to see this knowledge applied using an alpha300 RSA (combined AFM & SNOM Confocal Raman Microscope).

Scientists interested in how to chemically identify and image the compounds of a sample at the highest spatial resolution are invited to participate. Typical research fields for confocal Raman imaging are nanotechnology, pharmaceutics and cosmetics, materials and polymer sciences, archaeology and geoscience, forensics, coatings, thin films and all fields where a clear identification of the distribution of chemical compounds is a necessity.

Program:

Friday, 24th May 2013
09.30 Welcome
09.45 Wei Liu – Introduction to Confocal Raman Imaging
10.15 Sylvain Cloutier – Hybrid Nanocrystal-based Heterostructures for Opto-Electronis
10.45 Klaus Weishaupt – 3D Raman Imaging Meets AFM, SNOM and Profilometry
11.30 Jean-Francois Masson – Characterization of photonics nanomaterials for plasmonic sensors
12.00 Lunch & Equipment Demonstration

The workshop is free of charge but it requires registration due to limited availability of places. In order to register, please contact Murielle Johnson at muriellej@aca.ca or 905-502-2088
