Rheometer

---

Advanced Application Laboratory offers R/S-SST Plus Rheometer. This is a soft solids tester for viscosity and rheology of pastes, slurries and materials with particulates (Gypsum-ASTM C474).

Features and benefits:

• Measured values: yield stress
• Shear modulus
• Recovery
• Creep
• Quantifies meaningful properties like stiffness, wobbliness, sloppiness, consistency and texture
• Capable of measurements in BU units for highly viscous materials such as joint compound for gypsum
• Vane spindle geometry – quick-connect coupling
• Easy-to-test method
• Allows spindle insertion without compromising sample structure
• Coaxial cylinders can also be used for complete flow curve analysis.

For over 75 years Brookfield Engineering Laboratories has been the world's leading manufacturer of viscometers and rheometers for laboratory and on-line process control applications. All Brookfield viscometers employ the well-known principle of rotational viscometry; they measure viscosity by sensing the torque required to rotate a spindle at constant speed while immersed in a fluid. The torque is proportional to the viscous drag on the immersed spindle, and thus to the viscosity of the fluid.
