Materials characterization company Malvern Instruments is both a sponsor and exhibitor at the forthcoming British Society of Rheology midwinter meeting. The subject of the meeting, which takes place on 10 and 11 December 2007 at Imperial College London, is the Rheology of Foams and Emulsions.

Malvern will exhibit from its wide range of advanced rheology systems.

On show will be the Bohlin Gemini HRnano from Malvern Instruments. This high performance, modular rheometer system, offers advanced 'fluid to solid' capabilities coupled with straightforward operation. It has been optimised for the control of ultra low torques and is therefore particularly suitable for the investigation of weak or sensitive material structures, low viscosity systems or those samples for which only small quantities are available.

RheometryRheometers are used to measure the rheology of fluids, which is the flow of fluids in response to an applied force. The most common types of rheometer include shear rheometers (capillary, cone and plate and rotational cylinder) and extensional rheometers. Viscometers are similar to rheometers however viscometers only measure the viscosity of a fluid.ViscometersViscometers are used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. Types of viscometer include rotational, vibrational and falling piston viscometers. Options for viscometers include modular, portable, benchtop and temperature compensation and density measurement features.
