Abstract

Measurement of viscosity of fluids is a critical parameter in determining the state of the fluid (ie. edible products), and the state of the forming solid (ie. molten metals and glasses). Experiments to measure viscosity using ultrasound, have been carried out since as early as 1951 [1]. Ultrasound has potentially offered a non-invasive, in-line method of property and process monitoring [2,3]. Early research has demonstrated that viscosity measurement can be accomplished by ultrasound using different linear and nonlinear techniques [4]. This paper is devoted to furthering the technique called shear reflectance method [5].
