Abstract

This chapter presents the literature review on liquid viscosity measurement by means of ultrasonic plane waves. The purpose of this review is to provide the knowledge of the current state of the art in ultrasonic plane waves viscometry. Several techniques have been developed to study viscosity with ultrasound. The first part of the literature review analyses these methods. They may be recapped in the following categories: crystal and rod resonators, the speed of sound and attenuation techniques, spectroscopy and the reflectance technique. In this review the advantages, applications and the limitations of each method are analysed. The second part of the literature reports how these techniques have been used to analyse lubricating oils. The review provides also a comparison between the ultrasonic viscometers and the conventional viscometers. Finally, the considerations on the limits of the literature methods are used to point out the direction undertaken in this research to design a novel ultrasonic viscometer for in situ applications in journal bearings.
