Rheometery and measurement range offered for polymer applications.


This producer of process and analytical instrumentation offers a range of rheometry and measurement equipment for polymer applications.

The Haake PolyLab Open System torque rheometer rhe·om·e·ter
n.
An instrument for measuring the flow of viscous liquids, such as blood.
 platform is designed for polymer processing applications. The platform's system architecture incorporates an open industry standard that allows multiple sensors and systems to be added for comprehensive viscosity and spectroscopy measurement. One major advantage of the Haake PolyLab platform is said to be the high degree of flexibility offered by the plug and measure design.

The Haake modular advanced rheometer system (MARS) for research and development applications measures the viscous viscous /vis·cous/ (vis´kus) sticky or gummy; having a high degree of viscosity.

vis·cous
adj.
1. Having relatively high resistance to flow.

2. Viscid.
 and elastic properties of a wide range of samples in rotation and oscillation Oscillation

Any effect that varies in a back-and-forth or reciprocating manner. Examples of oscillation include the variations of pressure in a sound wave and the fluctuations in a mathematical function whose value repeatedly alternates above and below some
. The modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities.  allows all key components to be interchanged, including the measuring head and electronic unit. The rheometer's low mass moment of inertia, combined with lightweight titanium moving parts Moving parts are the components of a device that undergo continuous or frequent motion, most commonly rotation. "Parts" only include the mechanical components which does not include fuel, or any other gas or liquid. , allows measurements to be performed on diluted samples even at the lowest of torque levels. The motor is configured to allow solids to be deformed precisely.

The Radiometrie RM 200 EK/RM 210 EK system with an operator station measures the thicknesses of extruded plastics film and biaxially stretched film The system can be equipped with automatic die control of the material thickness and the cross profile to enable significant improvements in product quality and to reduce time when making product changes. Thickness is controlled by an additional control loop.

Thermo Electron Thermo Electron Corporation (TMO (NYSE)) (incorporated 1956) is a major provider of analytical instruments and services for a variety of domains.

Thermo has revenues of over $2 billion, and employs 11,000 people in 30 countries.
