Flexible rheometers.

RS1 and RS300 rheometers are said to provide enhanced flexibility and control over rheological tests. RS1 rheometers are designed for exceptional performance and value, according to the company. They offer flow curve measurements with defined shear rate or shear stress, as well as dynamic measurements (oscillation) for the determination of elasticity. Yield points can be determined with creep/ recovery tests or with stress-controlled ramps. Reactions can be followed by time curves or temperature curves at constant shear rate, shear stress or frequency. Making RS1 rheometers easy to use is SnapShot software that tells the user in a single mn the best measurement method for any given sample. For more demanding applications, the RS300 modular research rheometer offers all the features of the RS1, including SnapShot software, with additional features designed to extend control, such as a vector-controlled motor that permits high dynamic response in transient tests. The RS300 is said to enhance flexibility by providing an extremely wide torque range, increasing sensitivity to low viscosity fluids. (Thermo Haake)
