Rheometer Buyers Guide

I have compiled a free guide for anybody buying a rotational rheometer for R&D, QA/QC or Process Development and who needs to negotiate the minefield of specs and quotations.  If you tell me a bit about yourself on my contact form I'll happily send it to you.

Please be assured your details will not be passed to anybody else.

Independent Advice

Buying a new rheometer is no fun!  You spend years trying to build the the justification to spend a large amount of your employer's money on an untested venture then you spend the next six months trying to fend off over-eager salesmen shooting supposedly-unbeatable specs at you from all directions!  Once you've made your decision you're stuck with it - so you'd better make sure you get it right.

I spend most of my time sitting in front of rheometers and viscometers of all shapes and sizes - dealing with their limitations and exploiting their individual strengths - so I now have a fairly unique viewpoint on the pros and cons of most of the rheometers on the market.  I can advise you of the relevance or otherwise of "an unsurpassed strain resolution" or the value of Time-Temperature-Superposition or a Force-Rebalance Transducer to your situation.

So whether you want a quick clarification on some point or you would like me to assist you with the entire specification, purchase and commissioning/implementation process please contact me.
