were the same. The reduced maximum flow rate of the new mass flow controller will allow us to collect data of the highest quality.”


FINDING THE BEST SOLUTION Clive Halliday, account manager, North West, for Bürkert, comments: “In the case of mass flow controllers, there are a lot of choices, so it is usually better to use our product configurator to ensure the best solution. In this particular case, I had an appointment not far from the university, so I offered to call in and discuss the application and help find the right product.” With so many variables and


configurations, flow controllers need careful thought, and in this case, the legacy product had been replaced with a modern, digital version, so an electrical adapter cable was also required. Fortunately, the rheometer’s software allows a new device to be added and configured, so the new Type 8741 flow controller was a perfect fit.


The rheometer is essential to the project and the researchers were not in a position to purchase another machine. As a result of Bürkert’s efforts, the research can now accurately measure the fluidisation point for smaller glass beads, enabling the project to proceed.


Rheometers are used for a range of purposes, including quality control, research and development projects across numerous industries such as pharmaceuticals, civil engineering and material science. In the event of a change in the application, it is important to realise that when the OEM is unable to offer a suitable solution, the component supplier, such as Bürkert, may have a more cost-effective answer that is relatively simple to implement.
