The rotating-vane-type viscosity measuring element depends upon the drag on a rotating member in contact with the material whose viscosity is to be measured. The vane or rotating element is driven by a synchronous electrical motor. The torque required to rotate the member of the vane is measured and is proportional to the viscosity in contact with the rotating element. The synchronous motor drives the cage at a constant speed. The upper spindle arm is coupled to the cage through a calibrated beryllium-copper spring. During measurement, the spring is wound up until its force exactly equals the viscous drag on the spindle; then the cage and spindle continue to operate at the same speed, but with a definite angular relationship to each other proportional to the torque on the spring. 4, record 13, English, - rotating%20spindle%20apparatus%20for%20measuring%20viscosity

Le principe du viscosimètre rotatif ou du viscosimètre à corps tournant est qu'un objet qui tourne dans un liquide subit une force de ralentissement due à la viscosité du liquide. Il s'agit généralement d'un cylindre aux extrémités coniques, l'ensemble du dispositif ayant la forme d'un fuseau. On emploie aussi des disques et des roues à aubes. 1, record 13, French, - viscosim%C3%A8tre%20rotatif
