Rheometry for Process Control

  • Chapter
Techniques in Rheological Measurement

Abstract

Rheometers, mostly viscometers, have been used for many years as sensors to monitor the characteristics of a fluid while it is being processed. While simpler probes, such as temperature sensors and pressure transducers, are widely used to measure process conditions, except when thermodynamic equilibria are involved, these variables provide no information about the composition or consistency of the material being processed. Obviously, the availability of such information, without the need for drawing samples and taking them to a laboratory, is very useful for quality control. However, an application that has a much greater potential for improving product quality and process efficiency is process control.
