1、Designation: D 5478 98 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Test Methods forViscosity of Materials by a Falling Needle Viscometer1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5478; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the measurement of theviscosity of Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids. These testme

3、thods are applicable to liquids having viscosities in therange from 5 3 104to 103Pas (0.5 to 106cP). The shear raterange is dependent upon the needle used and viscosity of theliquid and may vary from 104to 103s1.1.2 The yield stress of liquids having this property may alsobe determined.1.3 These tes

4、t methods consist of determining liquid vis-cosities of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids (clear oropaque) by measuring the steady-state (constant) or terminalvelocities of cylindrical needles as they fall through the testliquid under the influence of gravity. Yield stresses of non-Newtonian liquid

5、s may be measured using the same procedure.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of

6、 the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E1 Specification for ASTM Thermometers3. Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 dilatant fluid (or shear thick

7、ening fluid)one inwhich the apparent viscosity increases with increasing shearrate.3.1.2 Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluidsA Newtonianfluid is one in which the dynamic viscosity does not vary withshear rate but only with the temperature and pressure. Anon-Newtonian fluid is one in which the dynamic

8、viscosityvaries with shear rate over at least some shear rate range.3.1.2.1 DiscussionThis viscosity is sometimes referred toas the “apparent viscosity” since it is not a true property of thefluid but a variable depending on the shear rate. The viscosityof most non-Newtonian fluids fits a power law

9、expression. Apower law fluid is defined by the following equation:ha5 Kg!n21(1)where:ha= apparent viscosity, dyne s/cm2= P = 100 cP,K = fluid consistency, dynesn/cm2,g = shear rate, 1/s, andn = flow index, dimensionless.3.1.3 pseudoplastic fluid (or shear thinning fluid)one inwhich the apparent visc

10、osity decreases with increasing shearrate.3.1.4 viscosityThe ratio between an applied shear stress tothe resulting shear rate (velocity gradient) is defined as thedynamic viscosity. It is a measure of the resistance to flow ofa fluid.3.1.4.1 DiscussionIn the SI unit system the units ofviscosity are

11、Pas. One mPas is equal to one centipoise (cP).3.1.5 yield stressSome fluids when subjected to a shearstress behave as deformable solids until a certain critical shearstress is reached after which they behave as fluids. This criticalshear stress is called the yield stress or yield value.3.1.5.1 Discu

Significance and Use5.1 These test methods are applicable for measuring therheological properties of varnishes and paints. In particular, thelow to

17、 moderate shear rate measurements provide informationrelated to sag resistance, leveling, etc.6. Apparatus6.1 Viscometer, falling-needle-type and associated equip-ment listed as follows:6.1.1 Falling Needle Viscometer3,4,5A schematic of thefalling needle viscometer is shown in Fig. 1. The viscometer

18、consists of a vertical cylindrical test section of diameter D. Theliquid specimen is placed in the test section and the specimenstemperature is maintained constant by means of a constanttemperature bath that circulates a liquid through anothercylindrical container (water jacket) that is coaxial to t

19、he testsection. A thin hollow cylinder of length L with hemisphericalends and diameter d (the needle) is aligned with the axis of thetest section and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity.The needle has a small weight in its forward end that may bevaried to change its density. After the nee

20、dle has attained itsconstant terminal velocity, this velocity is measured by deter-mining the needle transit time between two circumferentialmarks a known distance apart on the test section (for opaqueliquids this can be done by an automatic sensing device, suchas a magnetic sensor, etc.). With a kn

21、owledge of the terminalvelocity, the liquid and needle densities, the geometric con-stants of the system (L, D, d), the viscosity of a Newtonianfluid can be calculated from the instrument theory. For anon-Newtonian fluid whose viscosity depends upon the shearrate, a series of needles are dropped. Th

22、e falling needle is anabsolute method of viscosity measurement that does not needany instrument calibration. However, it may be checkedthrough use of known certified viscous fluids such as standardoils.6.1.2 ThermometerA thermometric device calibrated to0.1C whose accuracy, precision, and sensitivit

23、y are equal to orbetter than the ASTM thermometer described in SpecificationE1.6.1.3 Circulating Liquid Bath, capable of maintaining thetest specimen temperature to 60.1C.6.1.4 Stopwatch or Electronic Device, capable of measuringto 60.01 s or an automatic sensing device with the sameaccuracy.7.

Precision and Bias15.1 PrecisionIn a

47、n interlaboratory study, six operators insix laboratories measured (four replicates) viscosities of fourmaterials comprising a spar varnish, a rust inhibitive primer, alatex semigloss, and an alkyd gloss enamel, that covered areasonable range of viscosities. The varnish was very slightlydilatant (sh

48、ear thickening) and the paints all were shearthinning. Measurements were taken with at least three needlesin each case and as many as six (equivalent to six operatorstesting 18 paints). Because Test Method B does not requiresingle point viscosities, but rather viscosity-shear rate curves,and slight

49、differences in specified needles give different shearrates and, therefore, viscosities, it was decided not to try todetermine precision on the basis of individual viscosities. Wewere not comfortable with trying to determine the precision ofcurves either, so we decided to normalize the values obtainedby multiplying the viscosities by the shear rates to produceshear stresses and use these to determine the precision. Thewithin-laboratory coefficient of variation was found to be 0.31or 0.2 % of the average shear stress. The betwe
