Goettfert Capillary Rheometer Testing Services

How Our Lab Uses the Goettfert Capillary Rheometer

The Göttfert Rheotester 1000 and Rheograph 2003 are high-pressure capillary rheometers. These instruments are used to determine the flow characteristics and viscosities of thermoplastic polymers and rubbers.

Common Applications

  • viscosity-shear rate data

  • extensional viscosity measurement (Cogswell or Moldflow scheme)

  • first normal stress difference (Gleissle scheme)

  • Bagley end-pressure loss correction

  • thermal stability

  • Mooney slip

  • slit die measurements

Get Started

1
Share your requirements

Tell us about the material, application, environment, and any method, standard, specimen, or conditioning constraints.

2
Confirm the approach

We’ll align the appropriate method, specimen requirements, and deliverables to your objectives, then provide a quote and test plan.

3
Submit your PO and materials

Send the purchase order and arrange delivery of materials or specimens so the program can move into scheduling and execution.

4
Receive your results

You’ll receive an engineering test report with digital data delivery, along with any agreed raw data or method-appropriate outputs.

Typical turnaround for most testing is five business days. Longer-duration programs may require more time.
