Researchers developing novel materials across a wide variety of industries have increasing need for rheological characterization. However, the technique has traditionally required a significant financial investment due to the necessity of costly instrumentation and trained rheologists to conduct measurements and interpret complex rheological data. Due to financial constraints, organizations often limited their data to single-point viscosity measurements that could be collected using low-cost viscometers. With a list price significantly less that of many research-level rheometers, the Black Pearl Rheometer is designed to provide a broad range of rheological measurement capabilities including material flow curves and yield stress measurements.
