Description: The device enables the measurement of the viscosity of non-Newtonian liquids, registration of liquidity curves as well as the determination of the functions of non-Newtonian liquids in conditions in which the sustaining flows are maintained. It is a cone / plate rotational rheometer that allows measurements at controlled shear rates or controlled shear stress.
