This miniature instrument that can fit in the palm of your hand has been specifically designed as a detachable fixture for commercially available rotational rheometer host stations
The SER's unique patented technology incorporates dual wind-up drums that allow for a truly uniform deformation during extensional rheology experiments.
Xpansion's first product offering, the SER-HV-A01, has been designed for accommodation on an ARES rotational rheometer host system.
Models to accommodate other commercial rotational rheometer test stations will be launched in the near future.
Although first developed for use in characterising the physical behavior of uncured elastomers and polymer melts in uniaxial extension, this state-of-the-art instrument is not just limited to extensional rheology applications.
It can also be used for solids tensile testing, tear testing, peel testing, as well as friction testing.
Since it can be accommodated within the environmental chamber of the rotational rheometer host station, the physical properties of melt and solid, filled and unfilled, cured and uncured polymers can be measured over a very wide range of temperatures and kinematic deformations and rates on miniature sample specimens weighing just a few milligrams.
The revolutionary technology embodied in the SER can transform a conventional steady rotational rheometer into a robust universal test station for physical material characterisation.
Imagine having to maintain just a single multi-purpose test station in your laboratory rather than several test instruments with different control and data acquisition protocols and architectures.
The SER's simplicity of design and operation can greatly reduce test cycle times and the costs associated therewith.
As an extensional melt rheometer the SER's performance is unparalleled, and as a miniature physical testing platform the SER's capabilities and versatility are unprecedented.
The SER universal testing platform exclusively available from Xpansion Instruments is an invaluable scientific instrument that represents a true breakthrough in the field of material characterisation technology.
