Capillary rheometer ARC 2020

viscometerbench-top

The ARC 2020 is a capillary rheometer designed to test and collect information about viscosity and die swell of mixed rubber and thermoplastic elastomers at high shear rates. This information can be used to predict rubber behavior in processes with high shear rates such as injection molding. Features EASY CHANGE BARREL - 0.5 in (12.7 mm) barrel for easy rubber sample loading and (9.5505 mm) for plastics OPTIONAL DIE DIAMETERS - Increases the instruments versatility allowing a greater range of materials and conditions to be tested OPTIONAL DIE LENGTH: DIAMETER RATIOS - Increases the number of process and shear rates that are able to be simulated Specifications • Pressure: 0 to 140,000 kPa (0 to 20,000 psi) • Dimensions: W: 19 in (49 cm), D: 22 in (56 cm), H: 59 in (150 cm) • Weight: Net 300 lb (136kg), gross 350 lb (160 kg) • Temperature Range: Ambient to 662°F (350°C) • Barrel Length: 9 in (229 mm) • Frequency: 0.1 to 3000 cpm (0.0016 to 50 Hz)
