Rheometer selection guide

Quickly measure the viscoelastic properties of your sample when you select the right rheometer or viscometer for your application. 

Whether you measure texture consistency for new foods, analyze tensile strength of plastics, or flowability of paints and coatings, rely on our instruments to make life easier in the lab.

  • Easily interpret data: intuitive software helps provide fast answers
  • Quick accessory setup: "Assist" functions help move from one sample to the next
  • Around-the-clock support: unrivalled warranties and technical support worldwide

Quickly test viscosity and rheological properties of your materials for these industries:
Paints & Coatings • Processed Food • Cosmetics and Personal Care • Pharmaceuticals • Battery & Clean Energy • Polymers & Chemicals • Cement & Building Materials • Bitumen • Crude Oil
