David Moonay has been awarded a US patent for an algorithm he developed that provides multi-decade viscometric or rheologic measurements of a material undergoing state change
According to Moonay, this algorithm allows the use of Brookfield instruments to collect data on products that gel or cure over a much wider range of viscosity than ever before.
"Unfortunately, in the past, the only option for customers was to spend between $30,000 and $50,000 for a high-end rheometer".
Moonay developed this solution after talking with customers who complained that their gel timers couldn't get the viscosity data they needed.
Now, Brookfield customers can monitor gelling over a wide viscosity range at a reasonable price.
The Cure Mode Test is included in Brookfield Rheocalc Software (version 3.0 and above), and can run on DV-II+Pro Viscometers, DV-III+ and DV-III Ultra Rheometers.
The Cure Mode Test is ideal for adhesives, advanced composites, polymers, and has possible applications in other food, chemical and petroleum products.
