• Name: Rheometer
•  Tool No.: MNCF 020
•  Make : Anton Paar

A rheometer is a precision instrument that contains the material of interest in a geometric configuration, controls the environment around it, and applies and measures wide ranges of stress, strain, and strain rate. Rheometry refers to the experimental technique used to determine the rheological properties of materials; rheology being defined as the study of the flow and deformation of matter which describes the interrelation between force, deformation and time.

There are a number of rheometric tests that can be performed on a rheometer to determine flow properties and viscoelastic properties of a material, and it is often useful to deal with them separately

The cone and plate rheometer provides a measurement of shear stress and first normal stress difference in a geometry that results in a uniform shear rate throughout the shearing gap. The conical plate of 40mm and 50 mm, parallel plate 25 mm are available.
