To measure the rheological properties of a material, rheometers are used. Rheometers help those involved in industries such as sciences, geophysics, human biology, pharmaceuticals and food science measure how substances respond to particular forces or stressers.

Why rheometer is prefer than viscometer?

A viscometer can offer portability for field or remote testing. Rheometers, while generally more expensive than viscometers, are more versatile and have a much wider dynamic range of control and measurement parameters.

Why is rheology useful?

Why is Rheology Important? Controlling rheological properties is essential for polymeric processing and application. ... Flow Control – Rheology affects the way a material flows. High flow allows easy entry into intricate spaces versus a low flow which prevents flow into critical areas.
