  • Viscosity and elasticity of substances are measured in the manufacturing process of pharmaceuticals, foods, paints, inks, cosmetics, chemical products, paper, adhesives, fibers, plastics, beverages (eg beer), detergents, concrete admixtures, silicon, etc. It is an indispensable measurement technology for management, performance evaluation, raw material management, and research and development. Therefore, conventionally, measurement of viscosity and elasticity has been performed in order to detect the mechanical properties of the target substance (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
  • Conventionally known methods for measuring viscosity include the following methods. (1) In the viscosity tube method, the viscosity of the fluid is measured from the speed at which the fluid flows through the narrow tube. (2) A method in which a vibrator is brought into contact with a sample and viscosity is measured by a change in amplitude. (3) A method for measuring viscosity from the propagation characteristics of surface acoustic waves. (4) A method of measuring viscosity by directly measuring a torque generated by viscous resistance by rotating a rotor in a sample. (5) A method of measuring the viscosity from the falling time of the hard sphere falling in the fluid sample.

  • the viscosity of this aqueous solution is 3.2 cP.
  • a rotor 106 an aluminum sphere having a diameter of 2 mm was submerged in the aqueous solution, and then two permanent magnets were rotated around the container 101 to generate a rotating magnetic field.
  • the imaging element 111 captures the rotation of the aluminum sphere in response to the rotational torque generated by this rotating magnetic field, records this image on a video tape, and then calculates the rotational speed by image processing (image processing unit 109) by a computer. Asked. That is, the rotational speed of the aluminum sphere at that time was measured while changing the rotational speed of the rotating magnetic field.
  • FIG. 3 is a graph showing the relationship between the rotational speed of the rotating magnetic field and the rotational speed of the rotor 106 and the rotational speed of the rotating object. It can be seen that the slope of the graph is larger because the viscosity of the aqueous sucrose solution is larger than that of the pure water of FIG.
  • the rotation speed of the rotating magnetic field in this section is about 0.4 rotation / second, and is derived from the equation (7) that gives the rotation speed corresponding to the frictional force when the viscosity is 3 cP and the diameter of the rotating object is 2 mm. The order is almost the same as the value of 1 rotation / second. This shows that the principle of the present invention is effective.
  • the ratio of the slopes of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is 3.26, which is in good agreement with the actual viscosity ratio 3.2, which indicates that a viscosity of about 1 cP can be measured with high accuracy. Further, from this result, by obtaining the ratio of the gradient between the rotational torque and the rotational speed of the detection target substance and the standard sample, the viscosity of the detection target substance can be estimated by multiplying this ratio by the viscosity of the standard sample. It turns out that it is possible.
  • the present invention it is possible to measure viscosity and / or elasticity with high accuracy on a very small amount of sample.
  • a commercially available inexpensive article can be used for the container and the rotor that are in contact with the sample and can be made disposable. Therefore, the cost required for the apparatus can be reduced, and the influence of contamination of other samples can be completely eliminated.
  • post-processing for discarding the sample can be performed easily and reliably.
