Popis: | A novel technique for measuring viscosity at high shear rates is described. The technique is an extension of a well‐established method, parallel‐disk viscometry, which has been limited traditionally to low shear rates ( 50,000 s−1) to be attained without disrupting the torsional flow field, and thus controlled measurements of viscosity could be made at those shear rates. The presence of flow disturbances such as shear heating, surface fracture, and radial migration, common impediments in high‐shear measurements, can be readily detected with a thixotropic loop program, and the effect of such disturbances can be separated from the actual rheological response of the fluid. Data are presented on some well‐defined fluids, both Newtonian and shear‐thinning, and the limitations of this technique are discussed. |
