Rheometrics ARES DMA Testing Services

How Our Lab Uses the Rheometrics ARES DMA

The Rheometric Scientific ARES is a mechanical spectrometer capable of subjecting a sample to either a dynamic (sinusoidal) or steady (linear) shear strain (deformation), then measuring the resultant torque expended by the sample in response to the shear strain. Shear strain is applied by the motor; torque is measured by the transducer.

Common Applications

  • visco-elastic measurements in the melt and solid state, creep and stress relaxation studies, time-temperature superposition and WLF parameter determination. Rotational cone and plate or parallel plate rheology in steady or dynamic modes with first and second normal stress measurements.

Operating Ranges Offered

Temperature -125°C to 600°C
Frequency 0.01 to 500 rad/s
Steady or dynamic rotational modes
Torque range 2 to 2000 gm-cm

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.
