Rheometers

Advanced Application Laboratory offers Brookfield R/S-CPS Plus Rheometers. These are used for measurement of viscosity and rheology of creams, pastes, syrups, slurries, liquids, inks, etc., with cone/plate and plate/plate systems DIN geometry for small samples and wide shear rate ranges. Features and benefits: controlled shear stress/shear rate operation makes it easy to study material behaviour from initial yield to flow curve response; user-friendly keypad and display for stand-alone operation; optional software for PC control and data acquisition/analysis; very small sample size permits rapid test set up and clean up; temperature control 0-135°C or RT up to 180°C choice of bath or peltier device; and quick connect coupling system easy spindle attachment. 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.
