Shear Thinning Calibration Fluids for Rheometers and Related Methods

摘要

Abstract Disclosed is a method comprising calibrating a rheometer including performing a high shear rate calibration on the rheometer with a Newtonian fluid at a first shear rate greater than about 100 s and performing a low shear rate calibration on the rheometer with a shear-thinning fluid at a second shear rate that is less than the first shear rate, thereby yielding a calibrated rheometer; and measuring at least one rheological property of a sample with the calibrated rheometer.
