Abstract

A novel viscometer was devised to measure flow curves of polymer melts over a wide range of shear rates. The apparatus comprises a concentric cylinder viscometer with the inner moving piston driven axially at set speeds. Immersion depth of the moving piston increases continuously during the course of an experiment. An Instron or similar piston-operated capillary viscometer can be easily modified for this purpose.
