heal.abstract	A new capillary viscometer is described in which a column of blood is discharged under a constant pressure, producing a variety of shear stresses during a single test. Measurement of the viscosity of Newtonian sucrose solutions showed good agreement between the viscosity determined from the new system and the expected values. The viscosity of whole blood was measured in a cone-and-plate viscometer at a wide range of shear rates and characterized using a power law model; good agreement was obtained between the capillary and rotational results at low and medium shear rates. High shear rate results could also be obtained by increasing the driving pressure. The new viscometer proved to be simple to use, utilized a small test volume and produced reliable results.	en
