Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics) — Measurement of thixotropic behaviour of ceramic slurry by use of a rotational viscometer

Céramiques techniques (céramiques avancées, céramiques techniques avancées) — Mesurage du comportement thixotropique d’une barbotine de céramique à l’aide d’un viscosimètre rotatif

Abstract / scope

ISO 20379:2018 specifies a method for measurement of thixotropic behaviour of ceramic slurry with rotational viscometer. The slurry with high-solid loading, which is used in ceramic manufacturing, has a generally non-Newtonian property. This method is limited to measurement of thixotropic behaviour of high-solid loaded ceramic slurry with "coaxial double cylinder viscometer", "cone and plate viscometer" and "a parallel plate viscometer" as rotational viscometers.
