Capillary Rheometers
Plastics are amazing materials with the unique ability to flow when heated to relatively low temperatures. They can be formed into a wide variety of shapes and tailored for many different applications. However, their flow properties during this process are complex and affected by many parameters. Instron® provides comprehensive and effective testing solutions in plastics applications and industries through the CEAST SmartRHEO Series. This capillary rheometer simulates the process conditions, measuring the plastic materials flow behavior that characterizes the rheology of materials.
