The rheological analysis of samples is a fundamental part of developing many types of products. Unlike a viscometer, a rheometer can actually measure sample properties at extremely low shear rates, as in sedimentation, or the high shear rates seen in pumping, mixing and application and making measurements in the correct shear range, we can adequately simulate a flow process and so differentiate good products from poor ones. The rheometer can also determine the effect of adding different quantities of an additive, or process changes and so be used to optimize the formulation and production of a product.
The rheometer not only measures the viscosity of the product at room temperature, but can also be used to evaluate the viscosity during a programmed temperature profile. This can also be used with polymers to evaluate processability and Glass Transition TemperatureThe glass transition is one of the most important properties of amorphous and semi-crystalline materials, e.g., inorganic glasses, amorphous metals, polymers, pharmaceuticals and food ingredients, etc., and describes the temperature region where the mechanical properties of the materials change from hard and brittle to more soft, deformable or rubbery.glass transition temperatures. Results are accurate with minimal time spent testing, as a pre-programmed analysis may be started and left to run unattended, or even overnight.
