Abstract This paper analyzes various techniques to use viscometers equipped with vane spindles to characterize rheological properties of yield stress fluids. Specifically, application of Brookfield viscometers to this end is discussed. A wide selection of toothpastes and lotions were tested. It is shown that a simple method based on apparent shear rate and stress, commonly referred to as a representative viscosity method, works well for moderately non-Newtonian samples but may significantly underestimate viscosity for samples with a more pronounced yield stress behavior. To get more accurate data an integral equation relating torque to angular velocity needs to be solved which can be easily done numerically to get a good agreement between the data collected on an inexpensive viscometer and the data from high-end rheometers.

The temperature and concentration play an important role on rheological parameters of the gel. In this work, an experimental investigation of thermorheological properties of aqueous gel Carbopol Ultrez 20 for various concentrations and temperatures has been presented. Both controlled stress ramps and controlled stress oscillatory sweeps were performed for obtaining the rheological data to find out the effect of temperature and concentration. The hysteresis or thixotropic seemed to have negligible effect. Yield stress, consistency factor, and power law index were found to vary with temperature as well as concentration. With gel concentration, the elastic effect was found to increase whereas viscous dissipation effect was found to decrease. Further, the change in elastic properties was insignificant with temperature in higher frequency range of oscillatory stress sweeps.
