    摘要: Rheological measurement systems for use with systems including pressurized polymer melts and/or other viscous materials are described. In one embodiment, a rheometer is connected to an associated system with a bent, curved, or bendable tube to permit the rheometer to measure rheological properties in locations where the rheometer could not otherwise be located due to the presence of obstructions. Embodiments including rigid straight tubes for connecting a rheometer to an associated system are also described. In another embodiment, a flow-through rheometer is connected to an industry standard ½-20 thermowell aperture that is typically used for attaching temperature and pressure probes to a vessel containing a viscous material such as an extruder or injection molding system.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for correcting for gravitational force variation in measuring the melt flow index of a polymer at a location. For example, ample, some embodiments may involve determining a value representing an extent to which gravitational force at the location varies from standard gravity, such as based at least in part upon the latitude of the location. The value may be used in correcting the melt flow index measured for the polymer using a plastometer at the location.
