Abstract

Microprocessor control in off-line and on-line capillary rheometry leads to an extension of the range of application of these instruments. Furthermore, microprocessors also help to increase safety and quality in polymer production and processing. Examples are given that demonstrate the advances made in melt index testing, high-pressure capillary rheometry and continuous on-line capillary rheometry. Furthermore it is shown that the results from these different capillary rheometers correlate well with each other.
