Hi - there is shear but the rate is not varied or controlled by the sensors. They vibrate at a fixed freq (30HZ) and obviously the "shear rate" varies from sample to sample. It is however possible to introduced external shear influences in a controlled/measurable manner (eg electric mixer/stirrer) and then observe the relative change in Viscosity value. This kind of flexibility is unique to this type of vibro viscometer. cheers

Is there a shear rate associated with the measurement?
