Dynamic shear rheometer

A dynamic shear rheometer, commonly known as DSR, is used for research and development as well as for quality control in the manufacture of a wide range of materials. Dynamic shear rheometers have been used since 1993 when Superpave was used for characterising and understanding high temperature rheological properties of asphalt binders in both the molten and solid state and is fundamental in order formulate the chemistry and predict the end-use performance of these materials. Using a dynamic rheometer.Frequency: from 100 to 10 Hz (log variation).Plate/plate geometry - gap: 700 µm.Deformation: 0.01 %.The complex viscosity µ* (oscillation measurement) is comparable to the viscosity µ (rotation measurement).
