Introduction

This manual describes the setup procedure and basic operation of the

DYNISCO POLYMER

TESTS

7000 series capillary rheometers. It provides the complete description of resources

at your command when operating your rheometer. It is not necessary to read this manual

in its entirety; however, even experienced rheologists and technicians can benefit from the

safety tips and cleaning suggestions learned over many years of operating these

rheometers at our in-house polymer testing labs.

The Getting Started Chapter explains the details of setting up the instrument, important

safety issues, and walks the user through two standard tests. Experienced users may wish

to skip over the initial runs if familiar with entering programs into the rheometer.

Italics:

Rheological items which, have defining equations presented in this manual, are

shown in italics.

Bold Italics

: These are parameters that are set from the front panel on the rheometer (i.e.

Melt Time, Delay Time

etc.). These parameters are entered into the rheometer's control

programs via the rheometer keypad.

BOLD ALL CAPITALS

: This indicates an actual key found on the rheometer keypad. Usage

is as follows: Press the

ESC

button to stop the rheometer movement.

Underlined Items: Underlined items head paragraphs or sections that pertain to the

particular item or model underlined. If you do not have or are not interested in the

underlined item skip the section that follows it. Underlining is also used to emphasize

safety issues.
