Ametek Brookfield – RSO Oscillatory Rheometer

Description

The Brookfield RSO Oscillatory Rheometer is designed for rapid, accurate rheological testing with a user-friendly interface that meets the needs of both Quality Control (QC) and Research & Development (R&D) environments. Using oscillatory measurements through the use of a low friction air bearing allows for very precise viscoelastic measurements. Its flexibility allows for both cone/plate and concentric cylinder geometries in a single instrument, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of material testing applications. KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS Controlled Shear Stress/Shear Rate Operation: Precision air bearing and oscillatory measurements allow the study of static yield, flow curves, and visco-elastic behavior with precise control over shear stress and shear rate. User-Friendly Touch Screen: Stand-alone operation is simplified with an intuitive touch screen and graphical display, making it easy to navigate and manage tests. Quick Connect Coupling System: Effortlessly attach spindles with the quick connect coupling system, reducing setup time. Instrument Flexibility: Versatile design allows for both cone/plate and concentric cylinder configurations in a single instrument, providing adaptability for various testing needs. Small Sample Size: Test with very small sample volumes, enabling rapid setup and easy cleanup, ideal for labs with limited sample availability. Spindle Barcode Recognition: Automatic spindle recognition through barcode scanning streamlines the testing process and ensures accurate data entry. Standalone Simplicity: Perfect for QC users, the instrument offers straightforward, standalone operation without the need for a PC. Automatic Gap Setting: Quickly and easily set the gap between the spindle and plate with the automatic gap setting feature, enhancing accuracy and reducing setup time Rapid Temperature Control: Achieve quick profiling of viscosity versus temperature with the Peltier option, offering rapid and precise temperature control. Optional Rheo3000 Software: Enhance your testing capabilities with optional Rheo3000 software, allowing for PC control, data acquisition, and analysis of multiple test files.
