Evaluating results
The results can be evaluated in different ways. Flow curves and viscosity curves are
two possibilities:
Flow curve Viscosity curve
By making a constant shear rate measurement, the temperature and time depend-
ency of the viscosity can also be tested.
The software allows the user to compare data, fit models and perform many other
functions with the data. For more information, refer to the online help.
