Mobile Phone Enabled Pervasive Measurement of Liquid Viscosity
Appl. Rheol. 21:6 (2011) 63890 (5 pages)

A new conceptual non-contact method for liquid viscosity measurement in capillary tube using mobile phone
as the data acquisition facility is proposed. The video and image for the capillary force driven flow of the test
liquid was recorded by the phone camera. After the imaging reconstruction of the flow velocity in the horizontal
capillary and the capillary head in the vertical direction, a digital image processing software was developed
to calculate the liquid viscosity in MATLAB 2007b environment, recurring to the established theoretical correlation
for flow mechanics. To demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of the method, 10 groups of liquid were
measured and the results were compared with the data obtained from a standard rotating viscometer. The relative
error was found falling in the range of 0 ~ 20 %. This study establishes a pervasive low cost way for viscosity
measurement of various solutions.
