Viscosity flowable sample

The following viscometer components and operating conditions are currently being used in the determination of relative viscosity versus sample depth in flowable samples ... 

The graphic portrayal of a typical viscosity versus sample depth evaluation performed on a 16 oz. sample jar is depicted in Figure 2. Important evaluation parameters for the resultant curve are also depicted. The total time necessary for the evaluation of this sample (approx. 90 mm deep) was four minutes. Similar data has been generated for flowable suspensions in sample containers as tall as 15 inches (i.e., 5 gallon pail). This is accomplished by using 400 mm long spindles in conjunction with an extension for the Heliopath Stand supporting rod to provide the amount of stand travel necessary to permit the spindle to probe the entire sample depth.
