Why use rheology in mining?
In the mining industry, the processing and transport
characteristics of slurries are heavily dependant on
their rheological properties. Knowledge of rheological
parameters such as yield point and viscosity is, therefore,
essential when transporting a large amount of slurry.
A
nton Paar’s range of rheometers
include:
The Slurry rheometer system
This system is based on the Rheolab
QC, which is a robust, high precision
rotational rheometer. This system
allows for the comprehensive characterisation of slurries.
The system is capable of measurements according to ISO 3219 as well as
sedimentations free measurement with
a special vane measuring system. It can
be combined with an active temperature
control. A Slurry software package
allows easy operation with automated
routines for flow and viscosity curves,
thixotropy measurements, yield stress
calculations and r
