ABSTRACT:
A sensor for making rheological measurements takes the form of a ferromagnetic bob alternately driven through a sample fluid in opposite directions by magnetic force from two alternately driven coils. The bob's position affects the mutual inductance between the coils, so it can be inferred by sensing the signal that current flowing in one coil induces in the other, and rheological properties are determined from the relationships among the bob's motion, the coil current, and the sensor geometry. Some such measurements' accuracies are enhanced by computing bob acceleration and suppressing inertial effects thereby detected.
