Abstract: A rheometer for measuring non-Newtonian fluids is disclosed. The rheometer includes capillaries with piezometers therein, a pump, flow control valves, flow, density, and speed meters, and a controller. The rheometer has application in providing for online measurements of parameters including viscosity and yield stress in mining suspensions based upon laminar transportation of the suspensions by the capillaries.
