Back to Basics: Understanding the WRM Correction for non-Newtonian Fluids

Download our webinar on the Weissenberg-Rabinowitsch-Mooney (WRM) correction, a crucial concept in the rheological analysis of non-Newtonian fluids. This correction is essential for accurate measurement and interpretation of viscosity data, especially when dealing with shear rate-dependent fluids.

The Weissenberg-Rabinowitsch-Mooney (WRM) correction is a mathematical calculation used in rheology to determine the "true" shear rate of a non-Newtonian fluid by adjusting for the non-uniform velocity profile within a flow channel, essentially correcting for the fact that the shear rate near the wall is often much higher than the average shear rate in the flow, allowing for more accurate viscosity measurements.

The session will cover the basics of the WRM correction, why it matters, and how to use it in your data analysis to better understand the behavior of complex fluids.”
