Side feed extrusion rheometer

No bubble is generated when feeding into the capillary cylinder

Save about 50% of test time

Shorter retention time at test temperature

Reduce thermal degradation or scorching

Testing rheological data under simulated machining conditions

Define pre-treatment - Method of testing PVT and other materials

Dry mix

Different flow modes

Pushover flow occurs when the material structure of non plasticized materials is intertwined, resulting in increased viscosity. This flow is like ice in river water with poor extrusion quality

1. horizontal thrust flow – no shear in the flow channel and high velocity wall slip

2. wall slip flow – slip on the inner wall of the flow channel and accompanied by shear flow

3. shear flow - velocity distribution - parabolic
