Torque measurements were made in experiments carried out using a cylindrical Couette apparatus with the inner cylinder rotating and the outer one stationary. The fluid systems employed consisted of distilled water, 50% distilled‐water glycerine solutions, and these with several concentrations of suspended polystyrene spheres (through 40 on 70 mesh). The parameters employed by Bjorklund and Kays were found to correlate the data successfully when suspension viscosities were used for the two‐phase systems.
