Spinning tests under process-like conditions.
Elongation-Testing SLR
The Spin Line Rheometer (SLR) is a measuring system for characterizing the spinning properties of plastic melts. The vertically extruded plastic thread is pulled off using an extensional rheometer (Haul-Off) at up to 7000 m/min. At the same time, the force in the strand is measured. The measuring system is optimized to enable the largest possible draw-off ratios and thus to simulate the synthetic fibre spinning process on a laboratory scale.
The complete system consists of an extruder, a deflection head and an extensional rheometer. Optionally, an online rheometer can also be used as a melt pump instead of the deflection head. The actual measuring head is an extensional rheometer in the Haul-Off design.
