For these fluids, proper viscosity is a key requirement to consistently delivering the desired end product quality, maintain smooth-running equipment, and optimize material use.   Cambridge Viscosity helps manufacturers and commercial users of coatings, paints, and inks to monitor and control viscosity in any conditions. Our accurate, reliable, and self-cleaning sensors—coupled with temperature-compensated viscosity equations built into our software—ensure product quality, clarity and resolution of desired images, proper and uniform film thickness, and optimization of throughput processing rates. These benefits apply to all coatings, paints, and ink processes, including dip, spray, roll, or flow.   [ Request Pricing ](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/build-your-viscometer) ![Ensure the consistent quality of paints, coatings, and inks](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/hubfs/300x500-paint.jpg "Ensure the consistent quality of paints, coatings, and inks") ## Have a Question?  [![Visit Our Frequently Asked Questions Page](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2542477/364f2422-d9f8-4ece-be61-2bb6c5d57d6d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2542477/364f2422-d9f8-4ece-be61-2bb6c5d57d6d) ![FAQ](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/hubfs/FAQ.png "FAQ") #### About Us Known for innovation in viscosity measurement and control, Cambridge Viscosity specializes in the industry's most accurate, reliable, and easy-to-use viscometers for research laboratories and process environments.  **[Discover Our Story](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/about-us)** #### Products [Laboratory Viscometers](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/laboratory-viscometers) [Process Viscometers](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/process-viscometers) [Viscosity Sensors](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/process-sensors) **[Explore Cutting-Edge Viscosity Solutions ](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/technology-small-sample-viscosity)** #### Resources [Blog](https://cambridgeviscosity-2542477.hs-sites.com/blog) [White Papers](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/white-papers) [Brochures & Data Sheets](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/quick-reference) [Videos](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/videos) [![LinkedIn icon](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/icon_linkedin.png?width=30&name=icon_linkedin.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/265960/) #### Contact Us Cambridge Viscosity, Inc. 50 Redfield St, Suite 204 Boston, MA 02122 USA 781 393-6500 Email: [Sales@CambridgeViscosity.com](mailto:Sales@CambridgeViscosity.com)
