Abstract

A rheology test system includes a self-propelled vehicle, a computer contained in the vehicle and a rheology flow loop skid mounted in an outboard storage compartment of the vehicle. The rheology flow loop skid includes an obliquely mounted helical conduit through which laminar flow is maintained. The helical loop is mounted on a base near an inboard side thereof, and instrumentation is mounted on an outboard side of the base so that the apparatus can be readily used while mounted on the vehicle. Improved connecting pipes provide a more compact construction and a more easily assemblable and disassemblable construction.
