    摘要: There are provided a viscometer that can accurately measure a bulk viscosity of a small amount of a liquid sample such as 100 μL or less, and a method for measuring viscosity. A viscometer (1) comprises a fixing member (31), an upper unit (10), a lower unit (11), and an information processing unit (50). A method for measuring viscosity comprises measuring a viscosity of the sample by measuring a response voltage during resonance from a detecting means (19) that detects displacement of a leaf spring (17) in one direction due to vibration of the upper unit (10) through applying an AC voltage to a piezoelectric element (15) while changing a frequency by the information processing unit (50).

    摘要: A method for operating a resonant measurement system has at least one: adjustment device, electric actuation device, electromagnetic vibration generator, vibrating element, and vibration recorder. The adjustment device generates an output signal to trigger the electric actuation device, the electric actuation device provides an electric excitation signal to the electromagnetic drive, the electromagnetic drive excites the vibrating element to the same vibration in at least one normal mode, and the excited vibration is sensed by the vibration recorder and is output as an output signal. To approach, maintain and readjust a resonant point as an operating point of the resonant measurement system, the phase difference between the output signal of the vibration recorder and the adjustment device output signal is acquired, an adjustment deviation is calculated from a predefined phase difference and the acquired phase difference, and the adjustment deviation provided to the adjustment device as an input signal.
