Hello,
I am currently studying the relationship of shear stress vs. shear rate using a co-axial cylinder viscometer (DIN 53019) and comparing the results to our lab pipeline viscometer. The material being tested is very fine grained tailings, approx 50% passing 20um. The consistency is...
GIW has done work for us before. We have also used Pocock, Brass and other.
It seems everyone has their own preference as far as viscometer/spindle combination. I am looking for some advantages/disadvantages of each type to make a decision as to which setup to purchase.
Tailings can be used as aggregate in soil-cement, but as mentioned above it is important to observe the chemistry and mineralogy.
If the tailings are from a dry pond, excavation will result in varying particle size distributions. A laser analyser will help to classify the material. In general...
Does anyone have experience with determining rheological properties of slurry, thickened tailings and paste?
I am looking to purchase a new rheometer and I am hoping to find one that will be suitable for the entire range of consistencies. I don't think I will need one with all the bells and...
Hello,
I am in the market to purchase a rheometer for testing of slurry, thickened tailings and paste (high solids content)backfill.
I have looked at several models including TA Instruments, Fann, Thermo Haake, Brookfield & others. Can anyone recommend a specific make/model and spindle...
