Rheometers

Tender description

The Department of Earth Sciences at Durham University has a requirement to purchase rheometer equipment and accessories, this equipment is required to perform rheometry at high temperature and pressure on geomaterials, such as magma and drilling muds. Temperatures up to 1400 °C and pressures up to 100 MPa are required, though not necessarily at the same time. It is expected that it may not be possible to satisfy all requirements with a single rheometer, in which case the bid should comprise a suite of instruments that, together, can satisfy the requirements.
