Rheometry

Rheometry is a branch of physics that studies the mechanical properties of solids. Rheometers are special devices that are used to study the mechanical properties of a material, as well as the processes occurring under the conditions of their use. The word "rheometry" is formed by merging two words "reo" - related to line, "metry" meaning measurement. By analogy with the term metrology, rheometry is the study of physical quantities occurring within one line. Rheometry is inextricably linked with such sciences as chemistry and biology. To conduct research, a special rheometer is required, which is a tool for creating the conditions necessary to study the mechanical characteristics of the material. Rheohmmeters are usually divided into two types: mechanical, the operating principle of which is based on changes in the load on the sample, and electronic, which measure the mass of the sample depending on the change in force.
