RheoCAD500 for cement and concrete rheology

It is widely accepted that concretes with identical slump flows can show large variations in viscosity. The complete characterization of such complex fluids can be achieved with the new RheoCAD500 as a result of its mechanical, computer-controlled design and calibration to obtain stress and strain rates with absolute units. The RheoCAD500 provides the best performance in terms of sensitivity with a wide range of shear rates for measuring a broad variety of fluids and slurries. A highly sensitive torque meter covers a dynamic range from 0.01 to 1,000 Ncm. CAD Instruments offers a wide array of...
