Multiple
Possibilities
The FCR
(Flow Characterization Rheometer) specifically designed for the thermoplastics
resin industry, provides continuous measurements of the melt flow
or apparent viscosity directly on the manufacturing process. The FCR
system consists of two parts:1)The Rheometer, connected directly to
the process, which samples, conditions and measures the flow of the
molten resin through two separate dies, and 2) The RCU (Rheometer
Control Unit) that controls the rheometer test parameters, takes in
data from the measurement head, and provides outputs of computed results.
It can provide communications to an external distributed control
system. The FCR can be configured to measure dual melt flow rates,
simultaneous MFR and aparent viscosities, a range of apparent shear
viscosities, and extensional viscosities using the Cogswell Equations.
