High Sensitivity Pressure Cell (HSPC) - Ares G2

The all new High Sensitivity Pressure Cell (HSPC) for the ARES-G2 unlocks complete viscoelastic characterization of fluids in a pressurized environment. The HSPC is the only device that provides a wide range of dynamic oscillatory testing of materials, including low viscosity polymer solutions and structured fluids under controlled atmospheric pressure. The HSPC provides pressure (up to 5 bar) and temperature (-10 °C to 150 °C) control for viscoelastic characterization. Conventional pressure cells employ mechanical bearings that severely limit low torque sensitivity and make viscoelastic characterization impractical for most samples. The HSPC employs an innovative air bearing seal that allows unrivaled low torque performance with 100x better torque sensitivity than conventional devices. This unmatched torque sensitivity allows users to characterize critical material behavior such as time, frequency, and strain-dependence in test conditions representative of extreme processing or use conditions such as downhole or extrusion environments on the widest range of fluids.
