I.2 System Configuration
RST-CC and RST-SST Rheometer:
The basic configuration for the RST Rheometer includes:
• rheometer with touch screen, electronic unit and measuring drive
• power unit (AC adapter)
Available accessories:
• printer
• coaxial cylinder measuring systems
• temperature sensor Pt100
• measuring device ME3-CP/PP for cone/plate and plate/plate measuring systems
• special measuring systems, e.g. vane spindles
• temperature control device FTK-RST for cylinder measuring systems
• KE cooling unit
• fluid circulation thermostat
• holding device for measuring bob and temperature control device
• computer system
• Rheo3000 software
The RST has the following features of performance:
• digital speed and torque control
• automatic adjustment of control parameters during testing
• direct display of measured and calculated values for speed, torque, shear rate, shear stress,
viscosity, temperature, time etc.
• internal storage of measured values
• optional output of measured values to an USB printer
• operator support through dialog control via touch screen direct on the measuring instrument
• built-in system interface with serial standard port (RS232 C) and USB 2.0 for direct connection of
a computer
• output of measuring results in the form of a table or graph in real time
• saving of measuring results to USB-2.0-compatible instruments, e.g. USB stick
The RST Rheometer can be operated manually via touch screen or under computer control. DC power
supply to the RST Rheometer is through an AC adapter.
