Rheology refers to the analysis of a fluid’s flow or plastic deformation properties relative to shear forces such as rotational torque. It measures the material transportation properties of liquids, solutions, and slurries under distinct mechanical conditions, and enables analysts to accurately plot flow curves and yield points for a range of fluidic materials. This information provides mechanical insights into the coating and flowing properties of numerous commercial and industrial products, from agrochemicals to personal cosmetics.
To assess the rheological properties of a sample, Meritics provides the RM200 PLUS rheometer. This easily-programmable rotational stress rheometer can intuitively measure flow curves of samples with a built-in thermocouple capable of assessing temperatures between -50°C – 300°C.
Thanks to its large storage capacity and its easy programming, the RM200 PLUS allows you to realise all your measurements of flow curves, yield point, thixotropic, fitting without software.
Save your flow curves and calculate your rheological parameters directly without a computer (Plastic viscosity, flow limit, thixotropy, regression model according to Newton, Bingham, Casson and Ostwald). Choose your attachment system tailored to your product constraints.
