Notes:
A sensitive concentric cylinder viscometer was developed capable of measuring viscosities of liquids with a precision of 0.2% and an accuracy of 1%. The essential features of this apparatus were a nearly frictionless gas bearing suspension for the viscometer bob and and eddy current torque-sensing device. The viscometer was tested by measuring viscosities of liquids in the centipoise range and determining the elastic behavior of fiber networks suspended in solutions; a torque range of 1-250 dyne-cm. was studied. Based on the results of this work, the apparatus would appear to be an ideal instrument for the study of polymer solutions and particle suspensions exhibiting unusual flow behavior at low shear stresses.
