Rheology Laboratory
The PHYSICA MCR 300 rheometer performs a wide
range of steady and dynamic tests in both CSS and CSR
mode. It covers a wide range of applications, from
generating simple flow curves to the dynamic analysis of
complex fluids, melts, and co-polymers:
Shear stress (CSS), Creep and recovery, Normal force,
Stress relaxation, Linear tensile and compression,
Amplitude sweep, Frequency sweep, Temperature sweep,
Time sweep, Multiwave, Oscillation with superimposed
rotation or any combination of the above. Our rheometer
has additional magnetorheological capabilities, as well as
a wide range of temperature settings (up to 300 Celsius).
