Ball Measuring System

The ball measuring system is used to measure the flow properties of samples with very large particles such as building materials (cement, concrete, plaster) and foodstuff. The measuring principle, developed by Müller-Thyrach, is based on an excentrically rotating sphere which is available in various diameters. Due to the outstanding motor control of the Physica MCR series, a full flow and viscosity curve can be recorded in one single revolution of the measuring system.

Technical highlights

  • Allows measurement of samples with very large particles
  • Determination of the full flow curve in one revolution due to excellent speed control
  • Different measuring systems available to accomodate a large range of sample viscosities

Applications

  • Building materials: Measurement of flow properties, setting behavior and the influence of additives
  • Food: Measurement of flow properties of complete samples such as jam with fruit particles, meat sauces or rice pudding
