Capillary Rheometers For High Force Conditions

Capillary Rheometers For High Force Conditions

Capillary Rheometers For High Force Conditions

Model No. :

Brand : Netzch

The Rosand RH7 and RH10 are research-grade, floor-standing capillary rheometers engineered for characterising material flow under extreme pressure and high shear rate conditions. Featuring a robust “H” frame design, these systems provide the mechanical rigidity required for high-load extrusion testing of polymer melts, ceramics, and food products.

  • Maximum drive force up to 100 kN (RH10)

  • Ultra-wide dynamic speed range of 400,000:1

  • Precise temperature control up to 500°C

− Features

  • Single and twin bore barrel options for cost effective routine measurement capability through to dual measurements for simultaneous assessment of absolute shear viscosity and extensional (elongational) viscosities.
  • Maximum drive force (up to 20kN) and maximum speed (up to 1200mm/min) capabilities enable a wide range of shear rates, and correlation with many real material processing conditions.
  • Rigid one-piece cantilever frame design providing extreme mechanical strength and stiffness for a compact bench top unit.
  • Unique swivel head design gives easy access to the rheometer barrel for sample loading and instrument cleaning.
  • Range of optional barrel sizes and barrel materials to permit measurement of thermally-sensitive, chemically-aggressive or aqueous-based samples.
  • Easily interchangeable melt pressure transducers to cover all test requirements – configured with low noise, triple-stage amplifiers for optimized measurement sensitivity at the die entrance
  • Precise sample temperature control using three independent zone heaters, with high accuracy platinum resistance thermometers. High temperature (500°C maximum) and cooling coil options also available.
