The RG auto is a semi-automated capillary rheometer which supports the operator with a high number of viscosity measurements in low and high shear rate range by automation of filling, measuring and cleaning. The tester is particularly used in the quality assurance of polymers.
The semi-automated capillary rheometer enables the user to carry out automated viscosity measurements. The main automation modules focus on barrel cleaning, capillary closing as well as capillary pre-cleaining.
Furthermore, we offer external cleaning modules for the rheological tester, such as plunger cleaning. Optionally, the capillary rheometer can be equipped with 25kN or 50kN test force and configured between the single-channel systems with a diameter of 9.5mm or 12mm.
The basic instrument of GÖTTFERT capillary rheometers is designed to carry out viscosity measurements with plastics, rubbers and a variety of other materials. By using modular Add-Ons additional characterization possibilities can be used.
The measuring head is mounted below the die. The measurement can be carried out parallel to a viscosity measurement.
