TURBULENCE RHEOMETER – A FRICTION FLOW LOOP

The Turbulence Rheometer (TR), also known as Friction Flow Loop, is a fully automated laboratory instrument for analysis of flow behavior in pipelines. The TR is used to analyze all kinds of flow improver e.g. Drag Reducers (DRA), Friction Reducers or Viscosity Reducers.
