Abstract
VISCOMETEBS with a cone and plate configuration are often used for viscosity measurements on non-Newtonian fluids, and for suspensions provided that a particle cone truncated near its open end is used. In the latter case it has been assumed that radial motion of particles occurs too slowly to affect the accuracy of the measurements involved.
