Basics

  • Any methods of testing various materials' properties

Liquids/Slurrys

  • Mainly flow and viscosity tests
  • For low viscosity liquids, inline flow meters can be used
  • For viscous liquids and slurrys, an inclined plane and a timer, or a funnel and a timer can be used (A camera and frame by frame and/or computer analysis can increase accuracy)
  • Adhesion and Cohesion can be tested with two plates with the viscous fluid in between, they are drawn apart by a UTM in a similar manner to a Tensile Strength Test
  • Boil Test
  • Burn Test + Heat Damage Resistance Test if applicable
  • Freeze Test
  • Melt Test
