Rheometers
Advanced rheological characterisation for research, formulation development and process optimisation.
Modern materials rarely behave like simple liquids. Many products such as polymer melts, battery slurries, paints, adhesives, cosmetics and food formulations exhibit complex flow behaviour that changes depending on the applied force, temperature or processing conditions.
Brookfield offers a comprehensive portfolio of rheometers designed for applications ranging from routine quality control to advanced rheological research. Whether you require simple viscosity and yield stress measurements or full viscoelastic characterisation under controlled stress and oscillation, there is a Brookfield rheometer to match your application.
BlueScientific supplies the complete range of Brookfield rheometers across the north of the UK.
We support laboratories in research, quality control and manufacturing with expert application advice, demonstrations and technical support.

The Brookfield Rheometer Range
Rheometers measure viscosity, shear rate, shear stress, and elasticity, providing essential insights into material behaviour. Their advanced features improve testing efficiency, support regulatory compliance, and optimize material characterisation and process performance.
DVNext Rheometer
Routine viscosity testing with extended rheological capabilities.
The DVNext Rheometer bridges the gap between traditional viscosity measurement
and more advanced rheological testing. Ideal for product development and QC laboratories requiring additional material
characterisation without the complexity of high-end research rheometers.
RSX Cone/Plate Rheometer
Advanced rheological analysis with controlled stress and controlled shear rate.
The RSX Touch Rheometer is Brookfield’s most advanced rotational rheometer for
laboratories requiring comprehensive rheological characterisation.
Operating in both controlled shear stress and controlled shear rate modes, the RSX
enables researchers to investigate complex flow behaviour, structural recovery and viscoelastic properties. It supports both cone-and-plate and concentric cylinder
measuring geometries, providing exceptional flexibility across a wide range of
materials.
RSO Oscillatory Rheometer
Dynamic rheological testing made accessible.
The RSO Oscillatory Rheometeris designed for laboratories requiring detailed viscoelastic analysis. It combines intuitive operation with powerful oscillatory testing capabilities, allowing users to evaluate both the viscous and elastic behaviour of materials.
With support for cone-and-plate, parallel plate and concentric cylinder geometries, the RSO is suitable for a wide variety of research and formulation applications. Brookfield’s Quick Test function also enables rapid routine measurements while providing access to advanced oscillatory methods when required.
PVS High Pressure Rheometer
Rheological measurements under pressure and elevated temperatures.
The PVS Rotational Rheometer is specifically designed for materials that must be tested under pressure or at temperatures where evaporation or boiling would normally occur.
Using a concentric cylinder measuring system inside a sealed pressure chamber, the
PVS allows accurate viscosity and rheological measurements under realistic processing conditions. It is particularly valuable for the oil and gas industry, chemical processing and high-temperature formulation.
Measuring Geometries & Accessories
Brookfield rheometers support a wide range of measuring systems:
- Cone & Plate
- Parallel Plate
- Coaxial Cylinders
- Vane Spindles
- Disposable Chambers
- Temperature Baths
- Peltier Temperature Systems
Each geometry is designed for different sample types and rheological applications.
