various sizes of one-way (plates) and multi-way geometries (cone and plate)
air bearing
extended temperature cell (ETC) with low temperature unit (LTU) (-150°C to +550°C)
peltier plate Element (-30°C to +200°C)
auto gap control
measurement modes: shear stress viscometry, oscillation and creep; shear rate viscometry; step speed change; step strain relaxation; stress growth and multi frequency oscillation
options:
shear stress controlled
rotational speed controlled
mesurment range:
torque range: 0.5 μNm to 150 mNm
torque resolution: better than 1nNm
frequency range: 10-6 Hz to 150 Hz
speed range: 0.01 mrad s-1 to 600 rad s-1
normal force N1 measurement range: 0.001 to 20 N
viscosity: 1 m Pas to 107 Pas
Applications
realisation of basic rheological tests (viscometry, oscillation, creep and relaxation)
investigation of curing behaviour
measurement of elastic properties and flow behavior
measurement of torsional modulus properties of solid polymers, composites, glass and steel using torque rectangular tools (results are closely comparable to results of traditional DMA (DMTA) instruments)
determination of time and temperature dependent properties (-150°C to +550°C)
