A low cost mixer viscometer system was developed using a Brookfield viscometer interfaced to a Hewlett Packard (HP) digital cassete drive. Tests were conducted in a Brookfield Small Sample Adapter with a specially designed flag type, mixer impeller. The system was tested for two power law type products (apricot puree and guar gum) with results being comparable to those obtained using a Rheometrics Fluids Spectrometer.
