How to calculate the viscosity of mortar(cement and sand)

 

[1503-44]

It's a bit difficult with Bingham fluids.
What kind of cement?
Oil & gas well cements ...

Einstein gave the same test to students every year. When asked why he would do something like that, "Because the answers had changed."

Not sure you can really "calculate" it as too many variables. Plenty of testing can be done...

Give us a bit more than one line and you might get more than one line back....

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

What is wrong with the standard "slump test" ?

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

Slump test is static. Bingham fluids change their "effective viscosity" with velocity.

Correct, but is it being pumped?

Hi,
It's not clear to me, what you want to "calculate". I've some experience with Viscometer, in particular Brookfield; I would suggest contacting Brookfield representative in your region, they may have experience with your product or may be able to perform some tests.
BTW what is the scope of your study? this will help us for a better support.

Good luck

why are getting excited, its 8 days since the op posted - just another time waster by the look of it.

Yup. Not logged in since they asked the question....

seems par for the course lately.
