Abstract
As per the heading of the chapter, it contains oscillating type viscometers. Theory of damped vibrations and various methods of determining the time period and logarithmic decrement have been briefly described. Expressions, implicitly containing viscosity of the liquid in which cylindrical and spherical bodies are oscillating, are given. The importance of oscillation viscometer may be gauged from the fact that these are the only ones other than capillary viscometers which are used for determination of viscosity of water. Viscometers used by Roscoe and Bainbridge, Torklep and Oye, Kestin and Shankland and Berstad et al. have been sketched. NBS torsion viscometer and its theory have also been briefly described.
