The error in viscosity measurements caused when using coiled tubes has been experimentally assessed. Previous methods for obtaining a correction factor are shown to be unreliable. A method for calculating the Dean number for an unsteady state viscometer is proposed with which the flow data obtained in a curved-pipe can be satisfactorily correlated. Experimental results obtained using a new coiled viscometer are used to illustrate how such a correction can be applied.
