FLUIDS<br />

There are many e~ereial visGGmeters available ~or<br />

the aatermimatiGn o~ Newtonian viscosity but very ~ew are<br />

available <strong>for</strong> the quantitative determination o~ shear stress<br />

and shear rate (97). There are two basie types o~ viscometers<br />

l...rhich GaE. be used to determine these quantities; a<br />

eapillary tube viseometer and a r0tating cylinder viscometer.<br />

The ca~illary tube viscometer has a ~ew serious disadvantages.<br />

The pressure drop corrections are very time cons~~ng<br />

and a great deal <strong>of</strong> tiMe is spent in Gleaning and<br />

assembl~g the apparatus (121).<br />

The Rotational Viscometer<br />

Since the rotational viscometer vTaS used in this study<br />

its use is described in More detail. The exact procedure<br />

followed and the experimental results are iRcluded 1m<br />

Appemdix A ..<br />

The rotational viscometer is very easy to clean and<br />

assemble. The data are easily taken and only one correction,<br />

a constant eorreefion, must be made. Moreover, a model with<br />

a 200 fold shea~-rate range (Bro0~ield S~e~o-Lectrie) is<br />

commercially available, and was used in this study. Tae<br />

rotational viscometer is basically a eylin~ical fluid container<br />

called the eup ana a cyliRarieal b~b whieh is immersed eoneentrieally<br />
