Established mixer viscometry methods, the viscosity matching and the slope methods, were evaluated for determining average shear rates when agitating time-independent, non-Newtonian fluids. Results indicate that the use of a constant value of the mixer proportionally constant, k', is not valid for all ranges of fluid rheological properties, system geometry (impeller and cup) and impeller rotational speed. A small impeller-to-cup diameter ratio and impeller rotational speeds greater than .33 rev/s (20 rpm) provide the optimum operating parameters for evaluation of k'.
