UK-based materials test specialists Imatek has introduced the R6000 laboratory grade twin-bore capillary rheometer. In conjunction with the RheoSolve software package the R6000 enables users to rapidly make high accuracy rheological measurements on a wide range of materials.
Both shear and extensional properties of the specimens can be obtained at rates representative of those encountered during normal processing. The machine is suitable for research, process development and quality control in the polymer, food, pharmaceutical, ceramics and many other industries.
The R6000 offers an extremely robust and reliable design based on an H-Frame construction rated at 250KN, with force drive capability of up to 100KN and twin bores of 15mm diameter as standard. Key features are the high quality instrumentation and software user interface.
The RheSolve software is a single package designed to allow the configuration of experiments and the analysis of resulting data. It may also be used in stand-alone mode for offline analysis.
