Pressing rheometer for the determination of the shear rate dependent viscosity of fibre reinforced moulding compounds
Squeeze-flow measurement with constant surface area
Derivation of viscosity with e. g. power law based material models and different compression rates
Temperatures from room temperature up to 200 °C
Individual heating times in the mould prior to pressing as well as pre-heating times of the compounds
Determination of temperature distribution in the material depending on the heating and pre-heating times
Determination of process parameters, e. g. start of chemical reaction
