Rheometers and Viscometers

Malvern rheometers and viscometers are used around the world in research, product development and quality control applications. With our experienced staff of practical, problem solving application and technical specialists, and our pioneering methods for providing our global customers with world class support, we are uniquely positioned to help you solve your rheological challenges.

Rheometer and Viscometer Systems:

	Controlled strain and stress rheometers Malvern's line of rheological instrumentation include strain and stress controlled rheometers to enable complete viscoelastic characterization of a wide range of materials, from thin fluids to solid like materials over an extremely wide stress, strain and temperature range. With the development of the next generation rheometer platform, Kinexus, Malvern have redefined the rheometer and the way users interact with it. Through advanced technology, superior performance is accessible to all users to extend rheological test capabilities, to deliver accurate and reliable data and to solve your material or process problems.
	Rosand capillary rheometers Capillary rheometers are widely used in the polymer industry due to their ability to simulate the high shear rate conditions in many processing operations such as injection molding. Rosand research grade rheometers have a wide variety of unique capabilities such as twin bore designs (for better and faster sample throughput), ability to measure shear viscosity over a wide shear rate range, and ability to measure melt strength and dimensional stability. Bench top capillary rheometers are now available with many capabilities of the research systems, yet designed for more routine use in quality control environments.
	Asphalt rheometers and viscometers Malvern's family of asphalt testing rheometers and viscometers enables the characterization of rheological properties of asphalt binders and polymer-modified asphalts. The Bohlin DSRII dynamic shear rheometer was instrumental in the development of the initial SHRP testing protocols and current Superpave methods utilized by US State Departments of Transportation, Federal authorities, contractors and materials producers.
