NEW INSTRUMENT FOR MEASURING THIXOTROPY

CEMENT-BENZENS SLURRIES WERE TESTED IN TWO CONDITIONS: UNDER OPTIMUM THIXOTROPIC SET OBTAINED BY GENTLE COMPACTION OF THE RHEOPECTIC SLURRY AROUND THE ROTOR INSTRUMENT, AND UNDER MINIMUM THISOTROPIC SET OBTAINED BY SELECTED VIBRATION OF THE SLURRY AROUND THE ROTOR. VALUES FOR (1)TOTAL LOAD TO SHEAR AT OPTIMUM THIXOTROPIC SET AND (2) THE LOAD NEEDED TO INITATE FLOW UNDER CONDITION OF MINIMUM THIXOTROPIC SET ARE PROVIDED. THIXOTROPIC SET OF VARIOUS FINELY GROUND SOLIDS, SUSPENDED WITH AND WITHOUT SURFACE ACTIVE AGENTS IN LIQUIDS (PREFERABLY NONPOLAR AND NONREACTIVE WITH THE SOLID), CAN BE STUDIED. /AUTHOR/
