PRESSURE SENSORS PROPERTIES TESTERSANALYZERS/MATERIALDynisco ViscoIndicator OnlineRheometerSimplified Rheology for the MassesThe Dynisco ViscoIndicator Online Rheometer is designed toprovide continuous measurements of melt flow rate, apparentviscosity, and intrinsic viscosity directly on an extruder. Thisallows for a processor to: Monitor critical polymer specifications during run Correlate the value to their laboratory Adjust parameters as neededAdditionally, this data can be used to ensure the processorsend customer’s material is within specification throughoutthe entire production run.The ViscoIndicator duplicatestest conditions of a laboratory melt flow tester or capillaryrheometer, gathering data on melt viscosity measurements(such as melt flow rate, intrinsic viscosity, or apparentviscosity). These measurements are primary specificationsof thermoplastic resins, so the measurements give somemeasure of the physical properties of the resulting productand the polymers processability. 6 www.dynisco.com/viscoindicatorrheometer

ANALYZERS/MATERIAL PROPERTIES TESTERSThe ViscoIndicator has three main parts➊➋Rheological Sensing Unit (RSU):samples conditions and measuresthe properties of the resin, byconnecting directly to the process.The ViscoIndicator can be mountedon extruders, reactors, or moltenpolymer transfer lines.Rheological Control Unit (RCU):controls measurement parameters(the temperature, pressure, flow rate).Also it provides communications to theHuman Machine Interface (HMI).Features and Benefits:➌Human Machine Interface (HMI):manages test parameters and providesmeasured an computed materialproperties. The HMI shows melt flowrate, intrinsic viscosity, or apparentviscosity with a numeric value or on atrend graph with high/low limits, on asimple intuitive display. The data canbe exported for further analysis or forquality control purposes, this datacan be viewed on the machine or bya remotely connected windows 10device.

ANALYZERS/MATERIAL PROPERTIES TESTERSDynisco ViscoSensor Online RheometerExperience the Benefits ofOnline Rheology MeasurementA capillary viscometer forces material through a smalldiameter capillary die creating a pressure drop across thedie. By controlling the material’s shear rate through the dieor shear stress across the die, apparent viscosity or meltflow index is obtained. The ViscoSensor uses differentialpressure across the capillary die for either a control point formelt flow index measurement or as a measurement point forapparent viscosity calculations.control signals based on the rheologic data retrieved tochange the needed parameters, bringing their process backin line. During this time recording the data automaticallyproviding a rheological history for material and producttraceability for the processor and the end-user. TheViscoSensor provides confidence to processors andend-users, reduces scrap, and improves overall quality ofa product.The ViscoSensor Online Rheometer is specifically suitedfor all “return to process” looking to improve quality of theirprocess and product by ensuring the rheological propertiescontinuously in their production line. The ViscoSensor allowsthe processor to not only monitor the data, but provideMFR Normal Process– 20 Minutes Sample Time– 1 MinuteThe above graph shows process readings taken by the ViscoSensor duringrelatively consistent material processing. With consistent Melt Flow Ratio(MFR), one knows the material is homogenous as well as molecular weightconcluding that polymer chain branching is staying constant. 8 Process During Material Properties ChangesThe above graph shows process readings taken by the ViscoSensorduring material processing that is in flux. The stock material hasfundamentally changed or a contaminant has entered the process.For example, the flux could be a result of a change in molecularweight/branching or a different material grade being mixed in. Theprocess metric was recovered by addressing the cause of the changemeasured by the ViscoSensor.
