SER Product
Models
contains a list and specifications of the latest SER2
model line we offer for use
on a number commercially available host rotational rheometer systems.
(PDF file format: 0.98 MB)
Whether you have a new or a legacy host system, let us help you transform your
conventional rotational shear rheometer
into a multi-function testing station capable of covering the broad
spectrum of your physical
material characterization needs - from extensional melt rheology to solid-state fracture behavior.
