Abstract

See full text

In a method of measuring a viscosity of a sample based on a rotation frequency ΩS of a conductive rotator rotating by applying a rotating magnetic field from outside to the rotator set in a container containing the sample and a rotation frequency ΩB of the magnetic field, a constant k1 having temperature dependency of an apparatus and a constant k2 not having the temperature dependency at each temperature are found by using a equation, ηs=k1B−ΩS)−k2, where a viscosity η0 at specific temperature is known, and then a value of viscosity measured at the specific temperature is corrected by means of the constants k1 and k2, the rotation frequency ΩS of the rotator, and the rotation frequency ΩB of the magnetic field. The constant k1 may employ the temperature dependency of electric conductivity of metal used to the rotator.
