Abstract
CAPILLARY tube viscometers have been in constant use over the past twenty years or so, for measuring the viscosity of a wide range of materials such as, for example, clay and flour suspensions, cream, honey, grease, paints, starch pastes, tar, etc., which are not true liquids1. The instrument usually takes the form of a Bingham plastometer (fig. 1 a), an Ostwald viscometer (fig. 1 b) or some modification of these types2-6.
