Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9739332A1] A rheometer (10) for measuring viscosity at near-zero shear rate, for predicting stiffness or slump resistance of a free-standing paste at rest with high suspended solids therein, is provided that has a moving rod (42) with a ball-shaped tip (40) fastened at the end thereof, travelling vertically downwards at a preselected constant speed via a linearly moveable slide member (16) mounted on a slide guide bearing rail (20, 22) into a pool of paste placed in a container (C), while a digital force gauge (38) attached to such a rod (42) monitors, measures and records the maximum force exerted on the ball tip (40) during its impingement and subsequent travel downward thru the paste pool at such preselected constant speed as maintained by a controller module (34), ball screw means (28) and stepper motor (30).
