Features & Benefits

• Capillary Rheometers, either single or twin bore, to meet the requirements of
  research and quality laboratories for thermoplastic polymers, compounds and
  composites.

• PC-controlled using dedicated software VisualRHEO under the CEASTView
  platform (included).

• Tests can be performed with constant shear rate and constant speed steps.

• The data obtained from each of the barrels of a twin bore unit can be handled as independent tests.

• Particular advantages of the Twin Bore hardware configuration are the possibility to get from a single test: two measurements with identical test parameters (for comparative purposes), measurements with two dies having same diameter but different lengths (for automatic Bagley correction), or even two independent different measurements.

• Optional equipments, with dedicated software and available for all models, include: melt stretching unit, die swell, slit dies, pvT (pressure-volume-temperature diagram), and others.

• The Rheologic series can exert up to 50 kN force (depending on the model), with a piston speed ratio of 1:100000 (from 0.01 to 1000 mm/min).

• The operational temperature interval is 50C to 450C, controlled by two Pt-100 sensors.

• Pressure transducers are available from 3.5 to 200 MPa.

• Single-bore and twin-bore barrels are available with diameters of 9.55, 12, 15 and 20 mm.

• The barrel working length is 290 mm with the capillary entrance at constant distance from pressure transducers.

• Special barrel for chemically aggressive materials available.

• Meets ISO 11443, ASTM D3835, and equivalent standards.
