Page 4 M/02-212 I. General Description I. General Description In this chapter you get general information concerning use and measurement principle of your R/S Rheometer. I.1 Use of the Rheometer The R/S Rheometer system provides possibility of Newtonian fluids viscosity measurements, recording of flow curves as well as determination of viscosity functions of non-Newtonian fluids in steady shear flows. Furthermore, it assures carrying out of measurements in non-stationary shear flows and the measurements of viscoelastic substances values in creep processes. The R/S Rheometer is used in quality control, production control and researches I.2 Measuring Principle The R/S Rheometer is a rotational-shear rate /shear stress-rheometer. Concentric cylinders, measuring cones and plates are available as measuring system. The measuring- sample is positioned in measuring gap between the stationary measuring cup and the rotating measuring bob (Searle-principle), respectively between the rotating cone or plate and the stationary lower plate (cone/plate-, cone/cone-measuring-system). The measuring drive developed for this instrument operates with a high dynamic precision-drive- system with optical encoder without gearing and without mechanical force transducers, so torque is measured without deflection. The R/S Rheometer measuring drive is applicable for carrying out rotational measurements...
