A STORYOF SUCCESS

Specialising for over 50 years in the measurement of viscosity,

rheology and texture analysis, Lamy Rheology has seen the scope of

its business gradually expand over the years.

Initially, the exclusive distributor of the Contraves brand until 1991,

then of Mettler-Toledo and Rheometric Scientific, Lamy then

started to design its own instruments to complement those

already offered by these firms.

The entire range of Lamy Rheology rotating viscosimeters and

rheometers has been developed and is manufactured in France,

in our premises located near Lyon. Our instruments are sold

worldwide through quality dealers.

Of course, Lamy Rheology’s expertise does not stop there:

“We provide you with increasingly high-performance products,

such as the new RM100i, a fully digital industrial viscometer.”

Lamy Rheology provides all its customers with a complete range of

services:

“Our team of technicians provides you with quality after-sales

service: calibration and maintenance for our entire range as well as

for the CONTRAVES, METTLER and RHEOMETRIC SCIENTIFIC

brands.”

“Our application laboratory is at your disposal to provide you with

efficient advice when next choosing measurement instruments.”

Please contact us regarding any requests for training sessions.

Each day, Lamy Rheology strives to meet the legitimate expectations

of customers who place their trust in us.

HIGHLIGHTS

Pt100 probe

Because we believe that a product’s viscosity is

inseparable from its temperature, all our viscosimeters

have a Pt100 temperature probe. It’s just not optional!

Motor + card

State-of-the-art electronics combined with a

springless measurement principle, ensures a

wide measurement range and excellent reliability,

reduces maintenance, and does not require support

levelling.

Bayonet coupling

Because simplicity and strength are two essential

qualities for a measurement apparatus, all our

instruments have been fitted with bayonet

couplings for the past 20 years.

Application laboratory

Nothing can replace testing that is why our

application and expertise laboratory is at your

disposal to ensure our instruments meet your

needs throughout their entire service life.

RHEOLOGY KNOWLEDGE

DYMANIC VISCOSITY η (ETA) :

It is defined by the NEWTON equation:

And quantify measurement of internal friction of fluid.

His determination needs to apply to the fluid a Shear rate (D), and tomeasure the resistant Shear stress (τ) to this rotation.

SHEAR RATE: D (γ)

is the shearing which subjected by the product in the application. Itis known for measuring geometries with small gap. It is not thespeed of rotation of the bob (in rpm !).

τ = η * D en Pa.s

τ = F / S in Pa (N / m2)

D = dV / dx in s-1

For memory :1 Pa.s = 10 Poises or1 mPa.s = 1 cPoises

Either a sheared fluid, by a laminar move (dV), between two parallelplates with a surface (S) and separate by a distance dx.

SHEAR STRESS: τ (TAU)

There is the shearing force (F), with which the sample answers to theshear rate (D), divided by the contact surface (S).

RHEOLOGY:

There is the « science » of « flow ».

Associated physical measurements, realised with the hand of Rheometers, enables the visualisation of the behaviour of the product in various flow , temperature andtime conditions .

RHEOGRAMS:

displayed curves of the flow behaviour of a fluid.The curves τ = f(D) enables, by adapted fitting, the accessto direct related parameters with the application.

ROTATING VISCOMETER:

a - With coaxial cylinders

The fluid is sheared between two coaxial cylinders, withradius Ri and Ra and a length L, by a laminar move whichare breaking down in multi-layer with different angularspeed from 0 (for the layer in contact with the fixed cylinder)to ω0 (for the layer in contact with the rotating bob). Therelative move of layers towards others give, a shear rate Dand one Shear stress τ.

By imposing ω0 and measuring M, the resisting torque tothis rotation, we calculate D and τ according:

b- With Cone-Plate:

The fluid is placed between a Plate and a Cone with angle δ (< 3°).The cone, maintained to a constant speed induce a laminarshearing move. In those conditions, τ and D are constant inthe gap, according:

δ = Ra / Ri Ri / Ra > 0.92

Shear stress:

Trep =(1+δ2 / 2 δ2) * (M / 2πLRi2)

Shear rate:

Drep = ω * (1+ δ2 ) / (δ2 - 1)

Rq : The determination of D is possible only if the gap is small.

(i.e. DIN / ISO 3219 Standard).

Rq : You would be vigilant on the sample volume including in the

gap, because the great influence of the radius R on the τ value !

Description

Type Newtonian Pseudo-plastic Plastic

One sample presents a plastic behaviour, when his viscosity

decrease when the shear rate increase, but from one original

shear stress upper than 0, called YIELD VALUE (Tau 0), shear

stress under which the product doesn’t flow. It behave like a solid

body.

One pseudo-plastic sample

has a viscosity which decrease

when the shear rate increase:

This flow behaviour is due to

the molecules form and to

their internal structure:

A sample is named newtonian

when his viscosity stay

constant, whatever the shear

rate is. Iit is not necessary to

define exactly the shear rate

for the measurement. Just

the temperature is important.

STUDY OF DIFFERENT RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOURS

The THIXOTROPY

One thixotropic product is a

sample for which the variation of

viscosity in function of shear

rate is associated to a variation

trough the time.

Owe talk about Thixotropy or

Rheopexy, with the condition of

REVERSIBLE Transformations:

frozen or solidification.

Causes of thixotropy:

- Molecular structure - Particules mixing

- « Château de cartes » with layers - Ball loose Package…
