Rheological Characterization of Yield-Stress Fluids with Brookfield Viscometer
Abstract: This paper analyzes various techniques to use viscometers equipped with vane spindles to characterize rheological properties of yield stress fluids. Specifically, application of Brookfield viscometers to this end is discussed. A wide selection of toothpastes and lotions were tested. It is shown that a simple method based on apparent shear rate and stress, commonly referred to as a representative viscosity method, works well for moderately non-Newtonian samples but may significantly underestimate viscosity for samples with a more pronounced yield stress behavior. To get more accurate data an integral equation relating torque to angular velocity needs to be solved which can be easily done numerically to get a good agreement between the data collected on an inexpensive viscometer and the data from high-end rheometers.
