TITLE: A rapid benchtop method to assess drag due to early stage biofouling on marine fouling control coatings
JOURNAL: BIOFOULING
PAPER DOI IF KNOWN: 10.1080/08927014.2021.1929937


This dataset contains:
Raw torque data exported from the rheometer data collection software TRIOS (TA Instruments). The method for obtaining the torque contribution of one disc face is given, and the coefficient of momentum is calculated for all discs.


Date of data collection: February 2016 - September 2016

Information about geographic location of data collection:
Discs were exposed to marine fouling in the harbour at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, SO14 3ZH, UK; 50°53'30.7"N 1°23'41.2"W
Torque data were collected using a TA Instruments DHR-2 analytical rheometer at the Centre for Industrial Rheology & the Rheology School, The Long Barn, Lippen Lane, Warnford, Hampshire, SO32 3LE, UK
