Would I not need to take the shear rate of the rest of the system (piping, valves, elbows) into account? Also, the coriolis meter uses a torsional method to calculate the viscosity, would this not also affect the shear rate?
I am currently measuring the viscosity of a non-newtonian fluid (shear thinning) with a coriolis meter. The client measures the viscosity using a fann 35 viscometer at a shear rate of 300 reciprocal seconds. How can calculate the shear rate of my entire system so I can display viscosity at 300...
