Laboratory rheometer. (Instruments).


The YR-1 yield rheometer rhe·om·e·ter
n.
An instrument for measuring the flow of viscous liquids, such as blood.
 is said to be a simple-to-operate, low-cost alternative to complicated laboratory rheometers. The YR-1 is said to be ideal for measuring the yield stress behavior of most materials. It was designed to be used in the quality control laboratory or on the production floor. Push-button (electronics) push-button - A roughly fingertip-sized plastic cover attached to a spring-loaded, normally-open switch, which, when pressed, closes the switch. Typical examples are the keys on a computer or calculator keyboard and mouse buttons.  operation is said to give production technicians the ability to make quick, repeatable quality control tests with minimal training. Test results are displayed as a single yield stress number. EZ-Yield software is included with the YR-1. EZ-Yield features a simple menu that allows the operator to set up ten different test programs, according to according to

The YR-1 is available in a variety of torque ranges. A temperature probe is included. (Brookfield Engineering)
