Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) and SGS offer capillary rheometry testing to provide detailed insight into polymer flow under controlled pressure and temperature. This method characterizes viscosity, shear response, and processing behavior for various thermoplastics. Our teams follow structured procedures to ensure accurate results, clear reporting, and reliable decision-making for clients in multiple industries.
How Does Capillary Rheometry Support Polymer Processing Decisions?
Capillary rheometry shows how polymers behave during extrusion, molding, or compounding. Flow characteristics affect part quality, cycle time, and long-term performance. This method helps teams assess material response to various shear rates and temperatures, supporting resin selection for demanding applications. We maintain controlled test conditions for repeatable measurements. Each step is documented to ensure traceability and compliance. Clients use capillary rheometry to:
- Compare flow profiles between resin grades
- Evaluate the impact of additives or fillers
- Troubleshoot processing challenges
- Establish baseline data for quality programs
- Support specification or regulatory requirements
Our Capillary Rheometry Testing Clients
Organizations rely on flow data to maintain product consistency and reduce production risk. ATS and SGS support clients who use capillary rheometry to validate materials, optimize processing, and compare formulations. Our clients include manufacturers, compounders, medical device and packaging producers, aerospace and automotive suppliers, consumer goods manufacturers, and research and development teams. We provide responsive scheduling, structured communication, and clear, compliant reporting.
What Insights Does Capillary Rheometry Provide for Polymer Development?
Flow behavior determines how a polymer fills molds, forms extruded profiles, and responds to mechanical stress. Capillary rheometry allows teams to assess these behaviors before full-scale production and supports long-term quality programs by establishing reference values. Our disciplined workflow helps clients reduce uncertainty and maintain confidence in their materials.
