Method

The rotational rheology is a measurement method for determining the flow and deformation properties of materials using rotational movements. A sample is placed between two plates or in a cylindrical measuring system (e.g. a cone-plate system) and subjected to a rotating shear force. By analyzing the resulting shear StressStress is defined as a level of force applied on a sample with a well-defined cross section. (Stress = force/area). Samples having a circular or rectangular cross section can be compressed or stretched. Elastic materials like rubber can be stretched up to 5 to 10 times their original length.stress and shear rate, important rheological parameters such as viscosity, elasticity and yield point can be determined. This method is particularly useful for the characterization of liquids, gels, pastes and soft solids in various scientific and industrial applications.

Software

Experience the Ultimate in Test Flexibility with Sequence-Driven Rheometer Control

Toolkit Tests to Solve Your Material Puzzles:

  • Build an overall rheology picture of your material
  • Find an answer to material formulation, application or process problems
  • Targeted optimization of a key material characteristic, or implementation of a critical diagnostic test

The rSpace software is based on sequences consisting of basic rheological actions (or test modules). These can be linked to other test actions to create intelligent tests.
