A simple instrument is described which may be used either as a viscometer with a range from 200 to 15000 poise, or as a gelation timer. The 4 ml sample is contained within a disposable measuring element, the temperature of which can be controlled accurately. For viscosity measurements of Newtonian liquids an accuracy to 5% or better should be obtainable. The instrument will automatically register gelation time, and the viscosity-time relationship during cure can also be obtained.
