摘要 |
The invention relates to a rotational viscometer, comprising a measuring shaft (25) that can be rotated at a specified rotational speed, a measuring part (3) that is carried by said measuring shaft and that can be lowered into a sample, and a detection unit for determining the angle of twist of the measuring part (3) relative to the driven part of the measuring shaft (25). According to the invention, a twistable element (2) is inserted into the measuring shaft (25), preferably in the section of the measuring shaft close to the motor, the detection unit (17, 18, 24) is moved along with the shaft and determines the relative twist or the angle of twist between the shaft part (9) located on the motor side relative to the twistable element (2) and the shaft part (10) located on the measuring-part side, and the output signals of the detection unit (17, 18, 24) are fed to an evaluation device (13) as the basis for determining the viscosity of the sample. |
