Description
HIGHLIGHTS
Moving Die technology is a well-proven process that can significantly reduce your traditional testing and analysis times.
The digital electronics module and 16-bit PID algorithm apply quick, accurate temperature control with a variation of ± 0.03
At the heart of the Rheoline system is a rotor-less biconical die assembly with an internal cavity of 4.5 cm3. The lower die oscillates at 1.67 Hz over amplitudes of 0.5 °, 1.0 ° and 3.0 ° whilst the top die remains fixed and accurately measures the reaction torque, producing precise, repeatable data in an extensive range of testing environments.

| – A rheometer is a laboratory device used to measure the way in which a liquid, suspension or slurry flows in response to applied forces |
| – It is used for those fluids which cannot be defined by a single value of viscosity and therefore require more parameters to be set and measured than is the case for a viscometer. |
| Rheoline Auto-Load Fully-Automatic 16 sample loader Supported with: | The Auto-Load comes complete with three sample trays; each tray contains 16 sample slots. Samples are placed on the tray slots, one tray at a time is inserted into the loader, and the samples are then transferred automatically to the die cavity by way of a fabric belt. | |
