Mixer Selection Guide:
How to select a portable mixer for blending, dilution (dissolving), or heat
transfer. Determine the volume (gallons) of fluid to be mixed. Next,
to select your portable mixer, determine the viscosity and refer to the table
below. We have listed below a table of typical viscosities for various
liquids for comparison. If you have difficulty determining or estimating
your fluids viscosity, call us for an evaluation of your application.
