Wide speed and torque ranges and very short motor response times allow conventional flow and viscosity curves, and make it ideal for investigations into mixing and stirring behavior
Anton Paar presents the RheolabQC, a new rheometer specially designed for quality assurance.
From quick single-point checks to complex rheological investigations - the RheolabQC is described as versatile and outstanding value for money, setting new standards in quality control.
The RheolabQC is a rotational rheometer which works according to the Searle principle.
It consists of a high-precision encoder and a highly dynamic EC motor.
The wide speed and torque ranges and very short motor response times allow conventional flow and viscosity curves and also make the RheolabQC ideal for investigations into the mixing and stirring behavior of emulsions and dispersions, tests on the sagging and leveling behavior of coatings and determining the yield point of gels and pastes.
The user can select between controlled shear rate (CR) and controlled shear stress (CS) test settings.
The RheolabQC has numerous advantages for quick and easy work in quality control, says Anton Paar.
It can be operated manually or using the new RheoPlus software.
The software includes a special quality control module, numerous analysis models and an integrated 21 CFR Part 11 function.
The RheolabQC can either be connected via the conventional RS232 interface or via a Lan-ethernet interface directly to the company or laboratory network.
From yoghurt pots to paint tins - to check the quality of products rapidly during production, the RheolabQC has a new measuring cup holder which fixes and centres vessels of different heights, materials and diameters quickly and easily.
Time-consuming sample preparation is no longer required.
Toolmaster is said to be the first automatic component recognition and configuration system and ensures error-free selection of the measuring geometries.
All measuring systems are automatically recognised by the rheometer.
This information is taken into consideration when carrying out manual measurements.
With computer-controlled measurements, the information is read into the software as soon as the geometry is connected to the instrument.
There is a wide range of accessories available for the RheolabQC.
Measuring geometries such as concentric cylinder systems, double gap measuring systems, vane geometries and spindles.
The quick coupling allows the measuring system to be inserted into the rheometer with a simple hand movement.
Two liquid-heated/liquid-cooled temperature control systems for rapid and accurate temperature control from -20 to 80C and -20 to 180C.
Measuring cup holder for individual sample vessels.
Keyboard and bar code reader.
