Operation of a Twin-Motor Rheometer (Anton Paar MCR702)
The Anton Paar MCR 702 is a two motors rheometer capable to operate both in strain and stress controlled mode. It is equipped with the classical measuring geometries spanning smooth and rough surfaces, parallel-plates, cone-plate, large and small diameters. Mechanical and flow properties such as elastic modulus, viscous modulus, viscosity and normal stresses as a function of stress or strain, of a broad class of materials ranging from water-like fluids, polymers to cement pastes can be measured. The instrument is also capable of Rheo-Optical measurements by a microscope coupled with the rheometer thus allowing rheology with optical characterization of microstructure.
