Imatek have introduced the R6000 laboratory grade twin-bore capillary Rheometer. In conjunction with the RheoSolve software package the R6000 enables users to rapidly make high accuracy rheological measurements on a wide range of materials.

Both shear and extensional properties of the specimens can be obtained, at rates representative of those encountered during normal processing, such as extrusion, injection moulding, blow moulding and film blowing. The machine is suitable for research, process development and quality control in the polymer, food, pharmaceutical, ceramics and many other industries.

The R6000 offers an extremely robust and reliable design based on an H-Frame construction rated at 250KN, with force drive capability of up to 100KN and twin bores of 15mm diameter as standard.

The world-class RheSolve software which is a single package designed to allow the configuration of experiments and the analysis of resulting data. It may also be used in stand-alone mode for offline analysis. The software is designed for high productivity and includes many ease-of-use features and very powerful analysis and reporting. The user interface is highly configurable to let you work in the way you want, and a series of user levels can be defined to restrict access to certain features of the software so that less advanced users can use the software without the risk of producing invalid results.

Options include Die Swell, Melt Strength measurement and thermal conductivity.
