Unit Description Unit Description lntroduction The viscoelastic behavior of a fluid or a soft solid can be char- acterized in two ways; either the fluid is deformed and the re- sulting stress is measured (CR mode), or the stress is ap- plied and the deformation monitored (CS mode).
Unit Description 7.1 HAAKE RotoVisco1 Thixotropy and flow curve The determination of the flow behavior of a test substance requires a speed ramp up, a holding time and a return curve for the determination of the thixotropy. This hysteresis method can like all other measuring procedures be PC con- trolled or can be loaded as procedure in the display and con- trol unit.
Unit Description 7.2 HAAKE RheoStress1 Flow curves in CR and CS mode can be recorded as ramp or steps (steady state). Time curves for reactions (e.g. curing) at constant temperature, shear rate, shear stress or frequency. Temperature programs are software controlled to determine the temperature depen- dence with controlled shear stress, shear rate or frequency.
Unit Description 7.3 Temperature control: For applications at elevated temperatures above 250C it is a must to switch the fan for the air bearing cooling on stage 2 (on the rear) and use ceramic shafts only. Furthermore use the cone heater TC1 as thermal shield to prevent the heating up of the air bearing housing! Glass plate with a Pt100 temperature sensor (not temperature controlled).
Standard temperature range of --40 to 250 C using a heating circulator; utilizing electrical cone heating extends this up to 350 C. Controlled rate mode for characterizing rheologically complicated fluids (HAAKE RotoVisco 1 and HAAKE RheoStress 1). Controlled stress mode for characterizing sensitive substances (HAAKE RheoStress1).

After the selection the data are transferred via RS232 inter- face from the measuring device to the PC/RheoWin soft- ware.
Operating 10.5 Quick Cut-off The switch (3) at the top of the right column switches off the measuring drive, heating and lift. Internal measuring jobs are interrupted.
Temperature Control Units 11. Temperature control units 11.1 Temperature control unit TCO The sample is in the measuring gap of the sensor system. The rotator is driven by a preset speed (n). Due to its viscos- ity, the sample is resistant against the rotation. This resist- ance gets active as (braking) torque (Md) at the measuring shaft of RV1.
Temperature Control Units 11.2 Temperature control unit TCL/Z Place the beaker into the temperature control unit and fix it with the clamping lever. The sensor system and the temperature control unit require cooling according to load and temperature during the mea- surement.
Page 60
Temperature Control Units The following procedure is recommended: Switch the circulator off, in order to reduce the low pres- sure of the temperature liquid. Position the lever as illustrated in Fig. and move the le- ver upwards till the measuring cup is free to move. The measuring cup can be now easily removed by hand.
Temperature Control Units 11.3 Temperature control unit TCL/P The temperature control unit has a holding for the measuring plate. The measuring plate is put on the thermal liquid heated temperature control unit and is fastened. Cones and measuring plates should have the same diame- ter e.g.
Temperature Control Units 11.4 Temperature control unit TCE/P The temperature control unit has holding a for the measuring plate. The measuring plate is put on the thermal liquid heated temperature control unit and is fastened. Cones and measuring plates should have the same diame- ter e.g.
Temperature Control Units 11.5 Temperature control unit TCP/P and TCP/PE The temperature control unit has a measuring plate 60, which is at the same time the location for other measuring plates. The measuring plate is put on the Peltier temperature control unit and fastened.
Page 64
Temperature Control Units Peltier modules transport heat from one side of the module to the other and thus can be understood as the thermoelec- tric system of a solid state heat pump. Heat itself is scarcely absorbed during this process. The heat side is in any case exposed to the dissipated energy in addition to the trans- ported Peltier heat which has the result of causing the heat- ing and cooling measuring curves not to be identical.

Temperature Control Units For the cooling of the temperature control unit hoses (with 8mm) can be connected to a liquid circulator. While fastening the hose connections at the con- necting nozzles(14) of the temperature control unit:: - - ensure the correct flow direction (IN/OUT) - - the connecting nozzles must be held secured using a wrench.
Temperature Control Units 11.6 Temperature stabilisation unit TCE/P with cone heater TC1 The temperature stabilisation unit has a holder for the mea- suring plate. The measuring plate is placed and secured onto the electrically heated temperature stabilisation unit. The wedge and measuring plates should have the same dia- meter, for example like the taper C60/1 with the measuring plate attachment MPC60 and the plate PP35 with the mea- suring plate attachment MPC35.
Temperature Control Units 11.7.2 Operation The temperature stabilisation system TC1 is operated exclu- sively via the application software of the HAAKE rheometer being used. As long as the system is hot, do not touch either the up- per chamber or another hot part without wearing suit- able protective gloves.
Temperature Control Units 11.7.3 Compressed air distributor for TC1 The design of the compressed air distributor depends on the availability of a compressed air supply inside the building. If such a building connection is not available and if a HAAKE compressor is used instead, no adapter is required.
Temperature Control Units 11.8 Temperature control unit SHRP Rheometer like HAAKE RheoStress with parallel plate sensor systems are suitable for the rheological testing of viscous and elastic behavior of bitumen and asphalt blends which are used as surfacing at road building.
