The Kinexus Prime ultra+ rheometer has the highest sensitivity air bearing and widest torque range, coupled with the unprecedented vertical (axial) control capabilities of the Kinexus platform, for advanced rheological testing. Unique sequence-driven rSpace software enables fully customizable test design to allow researchers to set-up and investigate tailored rheological test protocols.
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 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.
