Abstract
Further development of the cone in cone viscometer required a modification of the geometry of the measuring units as well as of the design of the instrument as a whole. These modifications permit (i) a more exact centering of the cones, (ii) a freedom from vibration and further improvement of stability of the instrument and (iii) a freedom from any possible errors due to the surface films (blood-air interface). The new geometries include the “hollow cone” and the “rhombospheroid” types. Both are suitable for study of freshly-shed or anticoagulated blood
