<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This paper presents the development of a novel in‐line extrusion rheometer based on the flow of polymer through a wedge (vertically tapered slit). This rheometer is suitable for measuring changes in rheological properties on‐line during reactive extrusion, because it can be used to estimate the viscosity for a range of shear rates without the need to change the polymer flow rate (i.e., extruder throughput). Equations have been developed to estimate the parameters of the power‐law equation, used to describe the viscosity‐shear rate relationship, from measurements of pressure drops along the wedge. An experimental in‐line wedge rheometer has been built and used to measure the viscosity for a series of polypropylenes prepared via reactive extrusion. Viscosity measurements from the experimental in‐line wedge rheometer are compared with measurements from a capillary rheometer. Good agreement is found between the capillary and wedge rheometer measurements.</jats:p>
