Abstract

The transient response of the transversal effects of a piezoceramic transducer is introduced in measurements of the viscosity of liquids. Viscosities of water-glycerin mixtures and silicone oil were measured from the motional current of transducer at a resonant frequency of 23 kHz and its higher harmonic frequencies of 68, 110 kHz, respectively.
