Viscosity is an inherent characteristic of fluids and is therefore an important parameter in many different processes. Current methods to measure viscosity involve direct contact with the liquid sample, which is often undesirable. Here we present a simple, precise and robust contact-free method to determine viscosity, using a single drive motor, inexpensive components and disposable sample vessels. The measurement principle involves the detection of viscosity-dependent angular positions in a rot ...[more]
