3 Method Summary
Adequate amount of polymer containing test specimen shall be placed on the contacting rod of amplitude transformer for ultrasonic shear treatment in fixed time by one time or several times, and the variance in viscosity shall be determined according to GB/T 265, at last, the decrease rate of the sample shall be calculated.
The shear stability shall be assessed according to viscosity decrease rate of the fluid caused by ultrasonic shear action in the amplitude transformer (namely, ultrasonic oscillator).
