The measurement of rheological properties can help to develop a better product, predict its end use performance with customers and predict the physical properties of a product during and after processing.
Rheology is defined as the flow of fluids and deformation of solids under stress and strain. Rheometers are the instruments used to measure a material’s rheological properties. There are many types of rheometers that are available with the most versatile being controlled stress and/or strain rheometers and capillary rheometers.
Whether your objective is to simply measure viscosity as a function of shear rate to determine non-Newtonian flow behavior, or whether you want to measure complex rheological properties such as viscoelasticity (G’, G”) as a function of frequency (time) or temperature, Bohlin rheometers are in use around the world to help solve rheological applications in a wide variety of industries.
