Capillary rheometers allow users to better understand the processability of a thermoplastic prior to extruding or injection molding. This improves yields and reduces recycling/regrinding. Also, the rheometer enables users to perform process optimization to improve productivity by better understanding a thermoplastic’s rheological behavior under specific test conditions.
These rheometers are available in single- and twin-bore configurations. The twin-bore systems offer some important advantages:
- First, the ability to perform two simultaneous and independent rheological tests at once increases testing throughput, which is invaluable in quality control testing.
- Second, it allows for the direct comparison of the behavior of two lots of the same material, or two different materials, which is of benefit to both the quality control tester and the researcher.
