Determination of the intrinsic viscosity
The intrinsic viscosity (IV) measured by online capillary rheometers is determined via a correlation relationship between shear viscosity or melt flow rate (MVR) and intrinsic viscosity.
Accuracy and repeatability of Online measurements
Polymer processing or polymer compounding is often controlled by so called ONLINE-RHEOMETER that are essential for real-time process control...
Increased selectivity through continuous measurement of the extensional viscosity
Online process monitoring of rheological properties in polymerization and pilot plants is essential for fast and effective process control of polymer production.
