Appendix C - Variables in Viscosity Measurements

As with any instrument measurement, there are variables that can affect a Viscometer

measurement.Thesevariablesmayberelatedtotheinstrument(Viscometer),orthetest

uid.Variablesrelatedtothetestuiddealwiththerheologicalpropertiesoftheuid,while

instrumentvariableswouldincludetheViscometerdesignandthespindlegeometrysystem

utilized.

Rheological Properties

Fluids have different rheological characteristics that can be described by Viscometer

measurements.Wecanthenworkwiththeseuidstosuitourlaborprocessconditions.

Therearetwocategoriesofuids:

Newtonian - TheseuidshavethesameviscosityatdifferentShearRates(different

RPMs)andarecalledNewtonianovertheShearRaterangethey

are measured.

Non-Newtonian - Theseuidshavedifferentviscositiesatdifferentshearrates(different

RPMs).Theyfallintotwogroups:

1) TimeIndependentnon-Newtonian

2) TimeDependentnon-Newtonian

Time Independent

Pseudoplastic -A pseudoplastic material displays a decrease in viscosity with an

increaseinshearrate,andisalsoknownas“shearthinning”.Ifyou

takeViscometerreadingsfromalowtoahighRPMandthenback

tothelowRPM,andthereadingsfalluponthemselves,thematerial

istimeindependentpseudoplastic(shearthinning).

Time Dependent

Thixotropic -Athixotropicmaterialhasdecreasingviscosityunderconstantshear

rate.IfyousetaViscometerataconstantspeedrecordingcPvalues

overtimeandndthatthecPvaluesdecreasewithtime,thematerial

isthixotropic.

 -If you take viscometer readings from a low RPM to a high RPM

andthenbacktothelowRPM,andthereadingsarelowerforthe
