A new one‐term withdrawal expression for power law fluids is developed from theoretical equations. Comparison with film thickness data for three carbopol fluids of α = 1.79 to 2.68 indicates agreement similar to that observed with valid Newtonian theories. The agreement was verified by comparison with independent measurements of entrainment flow rate.
