R/S Controlled Stress
Rheometer
Sophisticated Rheological Analysis At An
Affordable Price
When you need Controlled
Stress and Controlled Rate Measurements, the R/S Rheometer
should be your first choice: A powerful tool at an affordable price.
Features And
Benefits
- Controlled stress/rate
makes it easy to study a materials' response from 0 shear up to
4800 sec-1
- Rugged design
means years of trouble-free operation
- Rapid spindle
attachment; easy to clean; saves time
- More for your
money - comparable to instruments costing much more
- Available in
coaxial cylinder, cone/plate, or plate/plate
- Quick and easy gap
setting for cone/plate and plate/plate models
- Variety of sample
temperature control: Brookfield water bath, Peltier Plate, or
electronic heating
- Easy to view
display and user friendly keypad for stand-alone operation
- RS-232 output for
use with powerful Rheo2000 control and data analysis software
Rheological
evaluation through controlled stress measurement offers superior
viscosity profiling, thixotropic response and yield stress
determination
The Brookfield R/S Rheometer offers both
controlled rate and controlled stress measurement. Available with
cone/plate, plate/plate, or coaxial cylinder measurement geometry,
the R/S Rheometer offers powerful flow characterization tools
including ramp, loop, and single point testing. A wide range of
shear rate, shear stress, and torque provide flexible flow analysis
and yield measurement.
The R/S Rheometer is designed to accommodate the high throughput
required of quality control laboratories. It also offers the
sophisticated flexibility required of research environments. The R/S
Rheometer provides cost effective, worry free operation for a
variety of laboratory applications.
Time is
money...
Why the Brookfield R/S Rheometer
will save you both:
Solid state construction for rugged and
easy use
There is little or no maintenance
required. Training is quick.
Rapid spindle attachment and easy cleaning
Testing can be done in minutes.
User friendly keypad for simple stand-alone
operation
The push of a button is all that is
needed.
PC interface for user defined remote control
operation
One mouse click will initiate a single
or multi-step test.
