The ARC 2020 is a capillary rheometer designed to test and collect information about viscosity and die swell of mixed rubber and thermoplastic elastomers at high shear rates. This information can be used to predict rubber behavior in processes with high shear rates such as injection molding.
Measures the viscosity and die swell of rubber and thermoplastic elastomers at high shear rates from 1 to 29,000 sec-1.
High maximum piston force of 15 kN.
Laser micrometer for die swell measurement.
12.7 mm (0.5 inch) barrel for easy rubber sample loading.
Optional Easy Change Barrel for Plastics (9.5505 mm diameter).
Optional Die Diameters
Optional Die L/Ds: 1 to 30
