FAQs of RSO Oscillatory Rheometer:
Q: How does the RSO Oscillatory Rheometer maintain precise temperature control during measurements?
A: The rheometer utilizes both a Peltier Plate and Liquid Temperature Control to regulate temperatures between 0C and 120C. This dual system ensures consistent thermal conditions for all sample types, thereby improving measurement accuracy and reliability.
Q: What sample volumes can be analyzed with this rheometer and how do I select the appropriate holder?
A: The instrument accommodates sample volumes from as low as 0.5 mL to 5 mL for most holders, and up to 300 mL for specific applications. Selection of cone-plate, parallel-plate, or cup-and-bob holders depends on sample viscosity, test type, and volume requirements.
Q: When is it beneficial to use the oscillatory mode versus steady or creep mode?
A: Oscillatory mode is ideal for analyzing viscoelastic properties and complex material structures, while steady mode best suits viscosity measurements at constant shear. Creep mode, on the other hand, is used to assess a materials deformation under sustained stress.
Q: Where can I install and operate this instrument safely?
A: The rheometer can be installed in laboratory environments that meet the following conditions: temperature-regulated space, humidity between 10% and 90% RH, atmospheric pressure, and a stable 230V AC / 50Hz power supply. Its robust stainless steel and ABS construction ensures durability in most research and industrial labs.
Q: What is the process for storing and exporting measurement data for analysis?
A: Test results are automatically saved to the 8 GB internal memory. Users can expand storage with a USB device or transfer data through USB and RS232 connectivity to compatible Windows systems for further analysis using the supplied proprietary analytical software.
Q: How does using this rheometer benefit material research and quality control?
A: With high torque and shear rate resolutions, multi-modal testing, and 1% accuracy, the instrument delivers comprehensive insights into material properties. These capabilities accelerate product development, optimization, and quality assurance in various industries.
