Abstract
A viscometer for use with a slurry or suspension was made using a special spindle in a Brookfield viscometer. The design of the sample holder is such that the particles are maintained in uniform suspension by vigorous agitation, but the fluid motion does not affect the viscometer reading. The reading can be converted to absolute units by means of conversion factors derived from the geometry of the spindle and sample holder.Keywords
