Summary
A computer program has been written which converts torque-speed data obtained from the five “disk-like” spindles of the Brookfield R.V.T. viscometer into shear stress — shear rate data. Experimental results obtained on the same samples from the Brookfield viscometer and commercial rheogoniometers are used to demonstrate the utility of the program.
Zusammenfassung
Es wird ein Rechen-Programm erstellt, welches für fünf scheibenähnliche Meßkörper eines Brookfield R.V.T-Viskosimeters Drehmoment-Geschwindigkeits-Daten in Schubspannungs-Schergeschwindigkeits-Kurven umzuwandeln gestattet. Experimentelle Ergebnisse, die sowohl mit einem Brookfield-Viskosimeter als auch mit kommerziell gefertigten Rheometern an den gleichen Proben gemessen wurden, zeigen die Brauchbarkeit des Programms.
