Oscillatory and rotational rheometer 

Extensive range of facilities for characterising the rheological (flow) properties of fluids including polymer melts, polymer solutions and suspensions.  Instruments cover viscous and viscoelastic properties of fluids over a wide range of temperatures and testing conditions:

• Capillary extrusion rheometry (shear viscosity, pseudo-extensional viscosity)
• Rotational rheometry (shear viscosity, stress relaxation, creep)
• Oscillatory rheometry (dynamic viscosity, viscoelasticity)
• Extensional rheometry (transitional extensional viscosity)
• Melt flow rate testing (MFR/MVR)
• PZT piezoelectric device (in-situ monitor for viscosity)
