‘Rheometer’

A Laboratorytalk guide

Start with the news release Brookfield puts hold on viscosity-instrument costs from Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, which we summarised at the time by saying "Brookfield Engineering has announced that it has put a hold on the prices of its viscosity measurement and control instruments for the third consecutive year.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Malvern rheometers measure polymer flow properties from Malvern Instruments: "The combination of simulation software from Compuplast and capillary rheometers from Malvern Instruments offers a solution for polymer processors seeking to cut development time and cost.".

In March 2010, we covered the news from Malvern Instruments - take a look at Malvern to show material characterisation systems which says: "Malvern Instruments will showcase technologies from its range of complementary material characterisation solutions at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Spring 2010 National Meeting and Exposition.".

Take a look also at the news release from Malvern Instruments, Malvern rheometer helps Michelman develop coatings, as well as Natureworks uses material characterisation tools from Malvern Instruments, and Malvern Instruments - latest company news from Malvern Instruments.
