Abstract
A viscosity testing and stirring device includes a rigid, elongated member having a viscosity testing opening defined therethrough. In one embodiment, the member has a generally V-shaped cross-section along at least a portion of its length. In another embodiment, the member has a tear-drop shaped opening. In yet another embodiment, the member has a non-flat cross-section along at least a portion of its length. The member functions as a stirrer and the opening is used to test the viscosity of a liquid. A method for testing the viscosity of a liquid is also provided.
Claims23
A viscosity testing device comprising:
- a rigid, elongated member having a viscosity testing opening defined therethrough, said member having a generally V-shaped cross-section along at least a portion of its length, whereby the member functions as a stirrer and the viscosity testing opening is used to test the viscosity of a liquid.
A viscosity testing device comprising:
- an elongated member having a viscosity testing opening defined through the member, said viscosity testing opening being tear-drop shaped, whereby the viscosity testing opening is used to test the viscosity of a liquid.
A viscosity testing device comprising:
- a rigid, elongated member having a viscosity testing opening defined therethrough, said member having a non-flat cross-section along at least a portion of its length, whereby the member functions as a stirrer and the viscosity testing opening is used to test the viscosity of a liquid.
A method of testing the viscosity of a liquid comprising:
- providing an elongated member having an opening defined therethrough;
- inserting the member into a liquid so that the opening of the member is completely submerged within the liquid;
- removing the member from the liquid so that the liquid forms a sheet of liquid that fills the opening;
- counting the time from removal of the member from the liquid until the liquid sheet pops through the opening;
- determining if the time for popping occurs within a specified time.
