Abstract
A fluid viscosity measuring device using forward light scattering is presen ted. The sensing principle makes use of the damping characteristic of a vib rating taut optical fibre probe that is sensitive to the viscosity of an im mersed fluid. Measurements of the resonant frequency and the amplitude are used to determine the viscosity of the liquid. Experimental results are pre sented for sucrose solutions of varying concentrations with a viscosity var ying from 1 to 6 cP.
