What is rheometers?

A rheometer is a laboratory instrument used to measure the way in which a liquid, suspension or slurry flows in response to applied forces. It is used for those fluids that cannot be defined by a single value of viscosity and therefore require more parameters to be set and measured than is possible for a viscometer. Rheometers are used to determine the viscoelastic properties of materials, providing information about their flow behavior under different conditions, which is crucial in industries like food, pharmaceuticals, polymers, and cosmetics for quality control, product development, and research.
