1、Designation: D5478 13 (Reapproved 2018)Standard Test Methods forViscosity of Materials by a Falling Needle Viscometer1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5478; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the ye
2、ar of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. 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
5、uid under the influence of gravity. Yield stresses of non-Newtonian liquids may be measured using the same procedure.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesaf
6、ety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dan

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
