Rheo Stress

This document discusses rheometers and viscometers used to analyze the characteristics and properties of fluids. It describes different types of rheometers, including cone and plate, spindle, and capillary types, that are suited for various sample sizes and viscosities. The document also outlines how rheometers can identify if a fluid is Newtonian or non-Newtonian by measuring the effect of shear on viscosity and fluid structure. Key parameters that can be determined include flow index, consistency index, and plastic viscosity. Features of the Brookfield and HAAKE rheometers are provided.
