increases. This behavior cannot be detected or evaluated with the single point measurement.
Non-Newtonian flow is analyzed through the collection of viscosity data over a range of shear rates
and the generation of a graph of viscosity versus shear rate (a rheogram). This information will
allow for a more complete characterization of a fluid and may help in formulating and production
of the product. The DV-I PRIME is capable of collecting multiple data points for comprehensive
analysis of flow behavior. Wingather Software can be used for this type of analysis.
More information on flow behavior, shear rate and rheograms is available in our publication,
“More Solutions to Sticky Problems.”
