- RSX Soft Solids Tester Rheometer from AMETEK Brookfield is a high-end, touch screen rheometer that operates in both controlled shear rate (rpm) and controlled shear stress (torque) modes to characterize creep behavior, yield stress, and viscosity profiles for pastes, slurries, and materials with particulates.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS Controlled shear stress/shear rate operation to analyze comprehensive flow behavior Large, user-friendly touchscreen and graphical display for standalone operation Quantifies properties like creep behavior, yield stress, and viscosity profiles Features an automated sample search and immersion Auto immersion to automatically insert the vane spindle into the sample at the correct height Quick Connect Coupling System for easy spindle attachment Spindle barcode for auto spindle recognition Rugged design for use on the production floor Vane Spindle Geometry to measure paste-like materials and other fluids Increased 200 mNm torque motor for testing tough samples Motorized stand for easy height selection Specifications Spindle Vane length mm Vane Diameter mm Shear stress Pa VT-10-5 10 5 218 – 437 k VT-20-10 20 10 27 – 55 k VT-20-20 20 20 5.97 – 12 k VT-30-15 30 15 8.08 – 16 k VT-40-20 40 20 3.41 - 7000 VT-40-40 40 40 0.75 - 1500 VT-50-25 50 25 1.75 - 3500 VT-60-8 60 8 15.9 – 32 k VT-60-15 60 15 4.35 - 9000 VT-60-30 60 30 1.01 - 2000 VT-80-40 80 40 0.43 - 1000 VT-80-70 80 70 0.13 - 250 Optional Accessories Vane spindles Circulating Temperature Baths Water Jacket for Temperature Control Temperature sensor Bob (spindle) and Chamber Thermosel System Concentric Cylinder Mounting Adapter
