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.
