Overview: The RHEO-TESTER 1000 is a capillary rheometer designed for rheological quality control. It features a modular design allowing for optional integration of a Laser Die Swell unit and a RHEOTENS unit for testing the tensile strength of polymer melts. The device is PC-controlled using WinRHEO software, offering user-friendliness and flexibility under Microsoft Windows.

Specifications: The RHEO-TESTER 1000 has a standard force range of 15 kN, enabling viscosity measurement over a wide range of shear rates. It supports a maximum testing temperature of 400°C, with an optional increase to 500°C. Temperature resolution is within ±0.1°C, and the linearity of temperature is maintained under 0.5°C.

Technical Features: The rheometer includes ARC (Absolute Rheometer Control), allowing users to write custom test routines for flow instabilities, relaxation behavior, and thermal stability. The operating program includes Rabinowitsch and Bagley Correction, and supports models like Ostwald/de Waele Power Law, Carreau, Arrhenius Temperature Shift Factor, and WLF.

Options: Optional features include Laser Die Swell measurement, Melt Tensile Testing, and Melt Temperature measurement.

Certifications: The RHEO-TESTER 1000 is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001.
