Introduction
Brookfield Viscometer and Bohlin Rheometer are used to measure shear
stress of fluids. The instrument is powered by a motor which drops a spindle that
rotates inside of the fluid measuring viscosity under different shear rates. Once the
shear stress vs. constant viscosity has been plotted Newtonian or Non-Newtonian
characteristics can be determined. Viscosity varies depending on the type of fluid.
This experiment uses data from different types of test fluids varying in thickness.
Objective
The purpose of this experiment is to become familiar with viscosity
measurement instruments and to measure flow behavior of fluids.
