Yes, the capillary rheometer is quite capable of testing rubber materials. Normally this is done without the curative in the rubber compound but this does not need to be the case. The temperature range of the rheometer is between 40-500 ° C with very precise temperature control, and so meets the requirements of rubber compounders. Due to the very viscous nature of some rubber, a floor standing rheometer (with its high force drive system) is a requirement for such testing.
