R7B7 (R7 Sleeve B7 Bob)


The R7 Sleeve and B7 Bob combination (R7B7) enhances low viscosity measurements for the M3600 Automatic Rheometer.


A bob and sleeve for low viscosity measurements
Combine the R7 Sleeve and the B7 Bob to make the R7B7, which makes low-viscosity measurements 4 times better, to about ±0.1 cP at 300 RPM. The R7B7 setup is available for the M3600 Automatic Rheometer.


Parts included in an R7B7 purchase
Three leg extensions are included with purchase of the R7B7; they make the machine tall enough to fit the R7B7 and its sample cup. A large sample cup is also included with each purcahse.

Heater cup
If temperature control is desired for a test, an optional heater cup is available in 120V or 240V. The heater cup for the R7B7 is larger than the standard heater cup to accomodate the larger rotor, bob, and sample cup. Click here to see the standard M3610 heater cup.
