Extrusion Rheology - Use of the Torque Rheometer

This webinar is intended for all newcomers and users who work with torque rheometers and laboratory extruders and use them for rheological measurements. Here extruder rheology is illustrated using a series of practical examples and linked with actual processes.

View this webinar to understand extruder capillary rheology. It’s presented in three key parts:

  1. This webinar first introduces/refreshes knowledge on rheology:
    •   Definition of basic rheological parameters
    •   Types of rheometers
    •   Shear thinning flow of polymer melts

  2. Then it provides in-depth knowledge of capillary rheology
    •   Measuring principle
    •   Necessary corrections
    •   Practical examples

  3. Finally, the webinar introduces you to a special kind of capillary rheology with a die to measure elongational behavior (elongational rheology).

Target audience:
This webinar is intended for all newcomers and users who work with torque rheometers and laboratory extruders and use them for rheological measurements.
