DHR-Dynamic Hybrid Rheometer This technique allows the determination of viscosity and other viscoelastic properties (e.g. storage and loss modulus, tan delta) of fluids and solids under applied torsional shear stress and strain at various temperatures. TA Rheometer DHR-2 with Furnace
Environmental Test Chamber (ETC) The ETC is a high temperature Smart Swap™ accessory that employs a combination of radiant and convective heating and has a temperature range of -160 °C to 600 °C with heating rates up to 60 °C/min. This hybrid temperature control design provides fast response and temperature stability over a continuous range of 760 °C. The ETC is a very popular option for polymer applications and can be used with parallel plate, cone and plate, disposable plate, rectangular torsion and DMA clamps for solids, and the SER3 for extensional viscosity measurements. Typical materials that can be tested include thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, caulks and adhesives, solid polymers, asphalt binder, and oils and greases.
