Scope1.1 These test methods cover the measurement of theviscosity of Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids. These testmetho

3、ds are applicable to liquids having viscosities in therange from 5 104to 103Pas (0.5 to 106cP). The shear raterange is dependent upon the needle used and viscosity of theliquid and may vary from 104to 103s1. With an extensionbar and applied weight, a shear rate of 104s1may be achieved.1.2 The yield

4、stress of liquids having this property may alsobe determined.1.3 These test methods consist of determining liquid vis-cosities of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids (clear oropaque) by measuring the steady-state (constant) or terminalvelocities of cylindrical needles as they fall through the testliq

No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesaf

The viscosityof most non-Newtonian fluids fits a power law expression. Apower law fluid is defined by the following equation:a5 Kd/dt!n21(1)where:a= apparent viscosity, P
