Thermo Scientific HAAKE MARS CTC
The SER system is a new accessory for the HAAKE MARS with CTC oven which transforms a (rotational) shear rheometer in an extensional rheometer for melts and semi-solids.
The measuring principle of the SER system, which was developed by Dr. Martin Sentmanat (Xpansion Instruments), is based on clamping the sample on two counter rotating windup drums. With the SER system a truly uniform extensional deformation in the sample is achieved. In additional to the uniaxial extension, the SER tool can be used for solid tensile testing, pear and peel testing, as well as friction testing.
The operating temperature range of the SER tool covers 0ºC to +250ºC. The combination of convection and radiant heating in the CTC guarantees fast temperature changes and an even temperature distribution within the sample.
The SER system is fully integrated in the HAAKE RheoWin measuring and evaluation software. Measurements can be made in both controlled extensional rate and controlled tensile stress mode. The extensional properties of the sample are calculated automatically and presented directly in the software.
