Device in a rhemeter next to a container for use in a rheometer

摘要

In a rheometer (1) for measuring characteristics of a fluid, comprising a container (3) for the fluid, a bob (9) that is suspended in the container (3) to be in contact with the fluid, oscillating means (4, 5) for causing oscillating relative movements between the container and the bob to expose the fluid to shearing, measuring means (8, 12) for determining the movements of the container and the bob, and calculating means (14) for calculating the rheological properties of the fluid in response to the movements of the container and the bob, the bob is suspended in tension loaded wires (10) extending between the ends of the bob and the bottom and the top, respectively, of the container (3).
