the property of flowing easily
In mineral transport, term not confined to liquids and slurries, but also used for finely divided solids which flow readily in air currents, fluosolids reactors, or through dry ball mills.
the reciprocal of viscosity. The measure of rate with which a fluid is continuously deformed by a shearing stress; ease of flowing.
Fluidity is the reciprocal of viscosity. The fluidity of a starch is the volume of starch paste prepared under standard conditions which flow through a calibrated orifice under defined conditions of temperature and time. Oxidised- and acid-thinned starches, and dextrins are manufactured to various fluidity values. The alkali fluidity refers to the fluidity of a cold alkaline solution of starch product. The Scott viscosity is a specific fluidity test for starch and modified starches which is determined by using the Scott steam-heated bath for paste preparation and the Scott funnel for determination of flow.
A measure of time, expressed in seconds, necessary for a stated quantity of grout to pass through the orifice of the flow cone.
Ability to flow and fill a mould.
Ability of molten metal to flow readily; usually measured by the length of a standard spiral casting.
