Measurement errors in yield stress rheometry that arise from torque auto zero
Appl. Rheol. 16:4 (2006) 206-209
►
The measurement of the shear rheology of concentrated particulate suspensions is important to a range of mixing,
pumping and flow operations. The use of a four or six bladed vane attached to a rheometer in an open cup
is a popular technique to achieve a rheological characterisation. A problem occurs in the use of automated software
with a number of rheological devices for yield stress materials. A torque auto zero default causes the torque
at the start of a test to be ignored, and can result in significant errors and underestimation of the yield stress or
rheological response of the suspension. The potential effect of using a torque auto zero default is demonstrated
for a concentrated particulate suspension of nickel laterite.
