  • Non-invasive, in-line consistency measurement of a non-newtonian fluid
    Patent number: 4680957
    Abstract: Provided herein is an in-line, non-invasive device and method for calculation of consistency of a non-Newtonian fluid flowing in a laminar manner through a non-rotating conduit where the consistency is calculated directly from a power-law model equation employing as independent variables pressure head loss over a specific distance and the bulk velocity of the fluid.
