Basic Seminar Applied Rheology

Content Detailed theoretical and practical knowledge is conveyed in the basic seminar “applied rheology” enabling you to conduct qualified measurements and to interpret the measuring data. There are three, one-day modules which can be booked as a complete package or individually: • Module 1: Basics of rheology and rotational testing • Module 2: Thermo Scientific™ HAAKE™ RheoWin software • Module 3: Viscoelasticity, creep and oscillatory testing Attendees will receive comprehensive seminar materials. The relevance of rheology for R&D, production and QC will be discussed and demonstrated with application examples. The practical trainings give you the opportunity to get hands-on experience working in small groups with different rheometers. Who should attend This application-oriented basic seminar will benefit beginners and intermediate users of rheological test methods in R&D, production or QC. This seminar not only refreshes basic knowledge of rheology but also gives you a comprehensive overview of rheological applications, measuring instruments and measuring geometries. Speakers Rheology specialists Venue All training courses will take place at our Material Characterization Training Center in 76227 Karlsruhe/Germany, Dieselstr. 4.
