An indirect extrusion viscometer has been developed and tested on fluids of standard viscosity. Results close to given standards have been obtained and errors in the procedure analyzed. Preliminary tests have shown that the developed apparatus will be suitable for following the viscosity changes during the setting of dental materials.
