A New Viscometer
نویسنده
چکیده
A viscometer is described, particularly adapted to the measurement of colloidal solutions and physiological liquids (serum, blood), which, although doing away with the capillary tube (which is difficult to handle and to clean), requires less than 1 cc. of liquid. The readings are rapid, from 30 seconds to 1 minute. The temperature is easily controlled and varied. The range is considerable and may be changed easily. The sensitivity is such that the viscosity of air can be measured to the 7th decimal, without any difficulty. Its main advantage is that it makes possible the observation of the changes occurring in the viscosity of a liquid in function of time and temperature. It may be used as a recording viscometer by simply placing a recording photographic box before the mirror.

A newly designed mass-detecting capillary viscometer is extended to measure the viscosity of whole blood over a range of shear rates without the use of anticoagulants in a clinical setting. In the present study as proof of principle, a single measurement of liquid-mass variation with time replaces the flow rate and pressure drop measurements that are usually required for the operation of a capi...
متن کاملThe Orifice Viscometer: a New Technique for Measuring Rheological Properties of Massecuites and Molasses
I A simple, cheap and reliable method of measuring rheological properties of massecuites and molasses is described. This involves measuring the head loss across an orifice for a given flow rate. Comparisons between results obtained with the orifice viscometer and a pipeline viscometer are presented. INTRODUCTION I The measurement of the rheological properties of massecuites and molasses is impo...
متن کاملMicro-Viscometer for Measuring Shear-Varying Blood Viscosity over a Wide-Ranging Shear Rate
In this study, a micro-viscometer is developed for measuring shear-varying blood viscosity over a wide-ranging shear rate. The micro-viscometer consists of 10 microfluidic channel arrays, each of which has a different micro-channel width. The proposed design enables the retrieval of 10 different shear rates from a single flow rate, thereby enabling the measurement of shear-varying blood viscosi...
متن کاملOscillating viscometer--evaluation of a new bedside test.
A viscometer for bedside blood measurements was developed, consisting of an oscillating resonator probe mounted directly into a disposable vacutainer tube for blood withdrawal. It was tested in vitro on blood samples with variable hematocrits (20-60%), increasing fibrinogen concentrations (0-20 g/l), increasing concentrations of an admixed radiographic contrast medium and erythrocyte suspension...
متن کاملTransversely Oscillating MEMS Viscometer: The “Spider”1
The analysis of a new viscometer that takes the form of an oscillating plate, fabricated from silicon using the methods of micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) is considered. The instrument is designed principally for experimental use in the oil industry. The plate is 1.6mm wide, 2.4mm long, and 20μm thick. It is suspended from a 0.4mm thick support by 48 square cross-section legs, each of l...
