5 Measuring principles
5.1 General
There are rotational tests, oscillatory tests and various step tests. The different tests can be combined
with one another.

SIST EN ISO 3219-2:2021
ISO 3219-2:2021(E)

These can be carried out using various measuring types: controlled deformation (CD), controlled rate
(CR) or controlled stress (CS).
5.2 Rotational rheometry
In the basic rotational test, the sample is subjected to constant or variable loading in one direction.
The shear viscosity η is calculated from the measured data. The corresponding mechanical input
and response parameters are listed in Tables A.1 and A.3. The basic parameters of the test can be
represented schematically in terms of the two-plates model. An infinitesimal element of the measuring
geometry is considered in this subclause (see Figure 1). The two-plates model consists of two parallel
plates, each with a surface area A and with a gap width h, between which the sample is located. The
velocity of the lower plate is zero (v = 0). The upper plate is moved by a defined shear force F, which
results in a velocity v. It is assumed that the sample between the plates consists of layers that move at
different velocities of between v = 0 and v.

Based on the Newtonian law of viscosity, the shear viscosity can be calculated using Formula (3):

where η is the shear viscosity, in pascal multiplied by seconds.
5.3 Oscillatory rheometry
In the basic oscillatory test, the sample is stimulated with an angular deflection or torque amplitude at
a given oscillation frequency. The resulting response oscillates with the same frequency and is
characterized by an amplitude and phase shift. The corresponding mechanical input and response
parameters are listed in Tables A.2 and A.3. Parameters such as the shear storage modulus G′ (elastic
shear modulus), the shear loss modulus G′′ (viscous shear modulus), the absolute value of the complex
*
viscosity η and the loss factor tan δ can be calculated from the measured data in order to characterize
the viscoelastic behaviour. The mathematical principles are presented in A.3. The basic parameter of
the test can be represented schematically in terms of the two-plates model (see Figure 2).

In the oscillatory test, the shear strain γ varies sinusoidally as a function of time t, see Figure 3. The

NOTE Degrees (°) are commonly used in practice as the unit for the loss angle δ. The following conversion
applies: 2π rad = 360°.
In the case of ideal elastic behaviour (in accordance with Hooke’s law), the loss angle has a value
of δ = 0°, i.e. the shear strain and shear stress are always in phase. In the case of ideal viscous behaviour
(in accordance with Newton’s law), the loss angle has a value of δ = π/2 = 90°, i.e. the shear stress curve
is 90° ahead of the shear strain curve.

6 Measuring assembly
6.1 General
The rheological properties are investigated using a measuring system consisting of a measuring device
(viscometer or rheometer) and a measuring geometry (e.g. cone-plate).
The viscometer can only measure the viscosity in rotation (viscometry). This means that the viscosity
function of the sample can be determined as a function of the parameters of time, temperature, shear
rate, shear stress and others such as pressure.
With a rheometer, it is possible to carry out all basic tests in rotation and oscillation (rheometry).
Alongside the viscosity function, the viscoelastic properties can be determined, e.g. shear storage
modulus and shear loss modulus.

A measuring assembly, consisting of a measuring device, a measuring geometry and optional
accessories, is shown in Figure 4. The measuring device and individual components, such as the
temperature control system, can be computer-controlled.
Figure 4 — Example of a measuring assembly
The sample to be investigated is located in a measuring gap where a defined flow profile is generated
in the sample. A necessary prerequisite for this is a sufficiently small gap width. When viscometers
or rheometers are used, they shall be able to impose or detect torque or rotational speed/angular
deflection. The imposed parameter shall be adjustable both in time-dependent and time-independent
manners.
For viscometric measurements, all viscometers are principally suitable, regardless of how the drive
and/or detection unit are supported. For measurements in oscillation, rheometers shall be used that
have the lowest possible internal friction in the drive or detection unit.
To cover the broadest possible range of applications, the viscometer or rheometer shall be able to work
with different measuring geometries. The range of the torques or angular deflections, that result and
the measuring range that can be achieved, depend on the measuring system. The type of measuring
device and measuring geometry to be selected depends on the sample.
6.2 Temperature control systems
A temperature control system consists of one or more temperature control components for heating and/
or cooling, including the required media (e.g. air, water, liquid nitrogen) and the necessary connections
(e.g. hoses and insulation for these hoses).
The rheological properties of the sample are temperature-dependent. As a result, measures such as
controlling of the sample temperature and its measurement with one or more temperature sensors in
the immediate vicinity of the sample are required.
The temperature of the sample shall be kept constant as a function of time during the measurement

4 Measuring principles
4.1 General
There are rotational tests, oscillatory tests and various step tests. The different tests can be combined
with one another.
These can be carried out using various measuring types: controlled deformation (CD), controlled rate
(CR) or controlled stress (CS). The material behaviour is described by several measurement points. The
prerequisites for recording the individual measuring points are described in detail in ISO 3219-3 [2].
Error analysis is described in ISO 3219-4 [3] and ISO 3219-5 [4].
4.2 Rotational rheometry
In the basic rotational test, the sample is subjected to constant or variable loading in one direction. The
shear viscosity 𝜂𝜂 is calculated from the measured data. The corresponding mechanical input and
response parameters are listed in Tables A.1 and A.3. The basic parameters of the test can be
represented schematically in terms of the two-plates model. An infinitesimal element of the measuring
geometry is considered here (Figure 1). The two-plates model consists of two parallel plates, each with
a surface area A and with a gap width h, between which the sample is located. The velocity of the lower
plate is zero (v = 0). The upper plate is moved by a defined shear force F, which results in a velocity v. It
is assumed that the sample between the plates consists of layers that move at different velocities of
between v = 0 and v.

4.3 Oscillatory rheometry
In the basic oscillatory test, the sample is stimulated with an angular deflection or torque amplitude at a
given oscillation frequency. The resulting response oscillates with the same frequency and is
characterized by an amplitude and phase shift. The corresponding mechanical input and response

parameters are listed in Tables A.2 and A.3. Parameters such as the shear storage modulus 𝐺𝐺 (elastic
′′
shear modulus), the shear loss modulus 𝐺𝐺 (viscous shear modulus), the absolute value of the complex

viscosity |𝜂𝜂 | and the loss factor tan 𝛿𝛿 can be calculated from the measured data in order to characterize
the viscoelastic behaviour. The mathematical principles are presented in A.3. The basic parameter of
the test can be represented schematically in terms of the two-plates model (Figure 2).

NOTE Degrees (°) are commonly used in practice as the unit for the loss angle 𝛿𝛿. The following conversion
applies: 2𝜋𝜋 rad = 360°.
In the case of ideal elastic behaviour (in accordance with Hooke’s law), the loss angle has a value
of 𝛿𝛿 = 0≡ 0°, i.e. the shear strain and shear stress are always in phase. In the case of ideal viscous
behaviour (in accordance with Newton’s law), the loss angle has a value of 𝛿𝛿 =𝜋𝜋/2≡ 90°, i.e. the shear
stress curve is 90° ahead of the shear strain curve.

Using Hooke’s elasticity law, the complex shear modulus G* and its absolute value |𝐺𝐺 | can be calculated

This can be separated into an elastic component G‘ (shear storage modulus) and a viscous

5 Measuring assembly
5.1 Measuring device
The rheological properties are investigated using a measuring device (viscometer or rheometer).
The viscometer can only measure the viscosity in rotation (viscometry). This means that the viscosity
function of the sample can be determined as a function of the parameters of time, temperature, shear
rate, shear stress and others such as pressure.
With a rheometer, it is possible to carry out all basic tests in rotation and oscillation (rheometry).
Alongside the viscosity function, the viscoelastic properties can be determined, e.g. shear storage
modulus and shear loss modulus.
A measuring assembly, consisting of a measuring device, a measuring geometry and optional
accessories, is shown in Figure 4. The measuring device and individual components, such as the
temperature control system, can be computer-controlled.

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 3219-2:2020
ISO/DIS 3219-2:2020(E)
Figure 4 — Example of a measuring assembly
The sample to be investigated is located in a measuring gap where a defined flow profile is generated in
the sample. A necessary prerequisite for this is a sufficiently small gap width (see also ISO 3219-4).
When viscometers or rheometers are used, they shall be able to impose or detect torque or rotational
speed/angular deflection. The imposed parameter shall be adjustable both in time-dependent and time-
independent manners.
For viscometric measurements, all viscometers are principally suitable, regardless of how the drive
and/or detection unit are supported. For measurements in oscillation, rheometers shall be used that
have the lowest possible internal friction in the drive or detection unit.
To cover the broadest possible range of applications, the viscometer or rheometer shall be able to work
with different measuring geometries. The range of the torques or angular deflections, that result and
the measuring range that can be achieved, depend on the measuring system. The type of measuring
device and measuring geometry to be selected depends on the sample; see ISO 3219-3 for further
information.
5.2 Temperature control systems
A temperature control system consists of one or more temperature control components for heating
and/or cooling, including the required media (e.g. air, water, liquid nitrogen) and the necessary
connections (e.g. hoses and insulation for these hoses).
NOTE There are different temperature control systems available, e.g. Peltier elements, liquid thermostats,
cryostats, convection or radiation temperature chambers; see ISO 3219-3 for further information.
The rheological properties of the sample are temperature-dependent. As a result, measures such as
controlling of the sample temperature and its measurement with one or more temperature sensors in
the immediate vicinity of the sample are required.
The temperature of the sample shall be kept constant as a function of time during the measurement
period; see ISO 3219-4 and ISO 3219-5 for further information.

5.3 Measuring geometries
5.3.1 General
A measuring geometry consists of two parts that form a sample chamber where the sample is located. A
measuring geometry consists of a rotor and a stator or of two rotors.
The measuring geometry shall be selected in such a way that its dimensions are suitable for the
expected viscosity range and viscoelastic properties of the sample. With regard to its gap width, the
measuring geometry shall also be selected in such a way that possible heterogeneities in the sample
(e.g. particles, drops, air bubbles) are considered; see ISO 3219-4. The magnitude of these
heterogeneities is to be determined in advance using suitable methods (e.g. microscopy, laser
diffraction, sieving or determination of fineness of grind). The application range, advantages and
disadvantages of each measuring geometry are described in more detail in ISO 3219-3.
The absolute and relative measuring geometries of a rotational viscometer or rheometer are described
below.
Coaxial cylinders, double-gap and cone-plate measuring geometries are absolute measuring geometries.
All the others are relative measuring geometries.
In the case of an absolute measuring geometry, the flow profile within the complete sample can be
calculated exactly, regardless of its flow properties. This applies under the condition of laminar flow
and without slip (wall slip or slip between flow layers).
In the case of relative measuring geometries apart from plate-plate measuring geometries, calculation
of the flow profile is only possible if the flow properties of the sample are known.
In practice, approximations are also used for absolute measuring geometries and thus corrections are
carried out. The influence of these corrections on the measured values is negligible relative to the total
measurement error, see ISO 3219-4 and ISO 3219-5.
Derivations of the basic flows for the absolute measuring geometries are presented in A.2.
5.3.2 Absolute measuring geometries
5.3.2.1 Coaxial cylinders measuring geometry
5.3.2.1.1 Description of the measuring geometry
The measuring geometry consists of a measuring cup (i.e. the outer cylinder) and a measuring bob (i.e.
the inner cylinder with shaft, as shown in Figure 5). The measuring bob can serve as a rotor and the
measuring cup as a stator (Searle principle), or vice versa (Couette principle); see Figure 6. If not
indicated otherwise, the Searle principle is assumed below.

The flow profile occurring in the measuring gap of the cylinder measuring geometry is calculated
according to A.2.2. The measuring gap is the space between the shell surface of the measuring bob with
a radius R and the lateral surface of the measuring cup with a radius R and the same length L; see
1 2
Figure 7.
5.3.2.1.2 Calculation methods
Calculations of the shear stress τ and shear rate 𝛾𝛾̇ are ideally based on representative values that do not
occur at the inner radius of the outer cylinder R or outer radius of the inner cylinder R of the
2 1
measuring geometry but at a particular geometric position within the measuring gap. τ is defined as
rep
the arithmetic mean of the shear stresses at the outer cylinder τ and inner cylinder τ , which is a good
1 2
approximation for the given ratio of radii (δ ≤ 1,1). For larger values and thus for relative measuring
geometries see 5.3.3.2.
