Abstract
The viscous property and fiow characteristics of
tour Indian China clays was studied with the
help of Stormer viscometer. It was found that
the increase of viscosity with concentration was
very rapid after a certain critical concentration
of clay was exceeded. Behaviour of clays as
such and the H-clays on electrolyte addition could
be identified with the type of clay mineral present
and the particle size distribution. Of the four
clays studied, two-Rajmahal and Simultalashowed
decrease in viscosity on addition of NaOH.
Cossimbazar showed an increase but Travancore
did not show any response.
