Rheology application notes
To further enhance and promote the understanding of rheology, an instrument manufacturer has produced a completely new series of rheology application notes
The application notes draw upon Bohlin's extensive experience across an extremely broad worldwide customer base and as well as instrumentation, Bohlin Instruments provides consultancy, training and contract testing services New rheology users can gain a useful and powerful insight into how a rheometer can be used to solve a series of practical material test problems

Conversely, the technical content of the notes, which include some new test methods and novel data interpretation, also makes them of interest to more experienced rheometer users.
The applications featured are based upon a series of rheological experiments using both Bohlin rotational and Rosand capillary rheometers.
In total, there are over 50 individual notes, each identifying a typical material testing problem.
A concise description of the rheological method, a full explanation of the test parameters, and a detailed interpretation of measured data are included in each case.
The notes have been grouped together in the form of a booklet for each industry type including coatings, polymers, foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, bitumen, and petrochemicals.
The applications include a range of experimental methods/property determination including shear viscosity, extensional viscosity, normal force, yield stress, thixotropy, visco-elasticity, dynamic mechanical analysis, relaxation time, relaxation spectra, melt strength, melt fracture, die swell, thermal degradation and PVT (pressure, volume, temperature).
