| Property and original unit | Named reported property, original unit, single-point or sequence identity and any conversion record. | Same fields retained independently; no equivalence is assumed from a shared viscosity label or converted unit. | Declared comparison purpose, accepted property basis and unresolved terminology differences. |
|---|
| Method, instrument and geometry | Method or standard edition, laboratory procedure, instrument and model, geometry, spindle or accessory configuration. | Corresponding controlled records plus calibration or quality-control status and any deviation. | Laboratory review of comparability, method limitations and required repeat or bridge evidence. |
|---|
| Speed, shear rate or stress condition | Rotational speed, angular velocity, reported shear rate or stress-control condition exactly as recorded by the method. | Corresponding imposed condition, sequence direction and read point; no unverified conversion is inserted. | Confirmed like-for-like condition or a documented reason the results answer different questions. |
|---|
| Temperature and equilibration record | Measured sample temperature, measurement point, control basis and recorded equilibration status. | Matched fields with time stamps and deviations preserved rather than normalized silently. | Approved temperature basis and statement of any remaining comparability limitation. |
|---|
| Sample, conditioning and time history | Formulation revision, sample point, process state, preparation, pre-shear, rest, aging, delay and test timing. | Same chain recorded for the comparison sample, including any handling or sequence difference. | Traceable sample map, controlled history and disposition of non-comparable or missing states. |
|---|
| Raw record, validity and release | Raw readings or curve, repeats, instrument range or torque status, uncertainty, stability rule and deviations. | Corresponding raw evidence and quality checks, not only a rounded summary value. | Named laboratory, process and supplier reviewers, conclusion, limitations and revalidation triggers. |
