Abstract

See full text

A viscometer comprises a plurality of capillary tubes connected in series with a mass flow meter. The capillary tubes are smooth, straight, and unimpeded, and each has a different known, constant diameter. Differential pressure transducers sense differential pressure across measurement lengths of each capillary tube, and the mass flow meter senses fluid mass flow rate and fluid density. A data processor connected to the mass flow meter and the differential pressure transducers computes viscosity parameters of fluid flowing through the viscometer using non-Newtonian fluid models, based on the known, constant diameters and measurement lengths of each capillary tube, the sensed differential pressures across each measurement length, the fluid mass flow rate, and the fluid density.
