Brookfield Engineering Laboratories is offering users of its viscosity instrumentation two hands-on courses to equip them with the knowledge to get the most out of their viscosity test methods.
The one-day training sessions are presented in easy-to-understand terms that give attendees the working know-how to verify and improve upon the data required for meaningful research and development and successful quality control testing.
The courses are offered at Brookfield's headquarters in Middleboro, MA, and at major metropolitan areas across the US.
Arrangements can also be made to conduct courses at customers' facilities where content can be adapted to their specific product applications.
The 'Practical Course on Viscosity Measurements' provides attendees with the tools and concepts they need to make precise viscosity measurements.
The course is designed to benefit all operators from beginner to advanced.
Participants are encouraged to bring product samples for testing where hands-on time is provided in a relaxed laboratory environment.
The course schedule for the 'Practical Course on Viscosity Measurements' is: 2 February, Los Angeles; 10 February, Middleboro, MA; 16 February, Columbus, OH; 1 March, Ft Lauderdale, FL; 3 March, Raleigh, NC; 10 March, Middleboro, MA; 30 March, St Louis, MO; 13 April, Middleboro, MA; 20 April, Chicago IL.
The 'Applied Course on Viscosity Test Methods' is designed for the intermediate to advanced Brookfield instrumentation user in research and development, analytical, and process engineering functions.
Focusing on test methods and techniques, it will review and discuss how Brookfield rotational viscometers and rheometers can be used to provide meaningful product analysis.
The course takes attendees beyond pass/fail criteria, to an understanding of how to apply viscometric data as a problem-solving and product performance/processing tool.
