Abstract
A sensitive viscometer performing the shear-stress and shear-rate meas urement of electrorheological fluid is constructed. This apparatus can measure the absolute value of the low viscosity of pure water as low as 0.001 P with an accuracy of 10% as calibrated from the standard val ue. The stress-strain relation of electrorheological fluids showing st ep-wise stick-slip response can clearly be observed from this instrume nt.
