Based on the huge succes of the original SER-HV and SER2 model lines, Xpansion Instruments proudly presents
the introduction of the new SER3 model line of SER Universal Testing Platforms. The new SER3 model line has
a similar form factor and uses the same drum accessories as the previous SER2 model line, but has less than half the torque threshold.
Like the previous SER2 models, each SER3 model is equipped
with a specific set of rheometer adapters so that
it can be used as a detachable fixture on a given host rheometer system.
All sales and marketing of the various SER3 models are
handled by the respective instrument manufacturers on whose host system the SER3 model will
be accommodated.
|
 |
The model SER3-P has been adapted
for use on the
Anton Paar
MCR line of
rotational rheometer systems, and can be easily accommodated within
the CTD environmental chamber of the MCR host system
for controlled temperature testing. Because its drums
are cantilevered and suspended from the SER3 base chassis, the model
SER3-P
is also capable of fluid immersion testing.
For sales and price quotation information regarding
this model, contact
Anton Paar directly.
|
 |
The model SER3-A has been adapted
for use on the TA Instruments
ARES line of
rotational rheometer host systems, and can be easily accommodated within
the ARES environmental chamber
for controlled temperature testing. The model SER3-A is not configured for
fluid immersion testing.
For sales and price quotation information regarding
this model, contact
TA Instruments directly.
|
 |
The model SER3-G has been adapted
for use on the
TA Instruments
DHR and AR line of
rotational rheometer systems and accommodation within
the ETC environmental chamber of the host system
for controlled temperature testing. Because its drums
are cantilevered and suspended from the SER3 base chassis, the model
SER3-G
is also capable of fluid immersion testing.
For availability and further information regarding
this model, contact
TA Instruments directly.
|
 |
The model SER3-T has been adapted
for use on the
Thermo Fisher Scientific
MARS line of
rotational rheometer systems and accommodation within
the CTC environmental chamber of the MARS host system
for controlled temperature testing. Because its drums
are cantilevered and suspended from the SER3 base chassis, the model
SER3-T
is also capable of fluid immersion testing.
For availability and further information regarding
this model, contact
Thermo Fisher Scientific directly.
|
 |
The model SER3-M has been adapted
for use on the
Malvern Instruments
Kinexus line of
rotational rheometer systems. Because its drums
are cantilevered and suspended from the SER3 base chassis, the model
SER3-M
is also capable of fluid immersion testing.
For availability and further information regarding
this model, contact
Malvern Instruments directly.

Similar to the previous SER2 model line, the new SER3 model line has
detachable drums that
can be configured from any number of materials of construction, surface
coatings and textures, as well as drum dimensions. Because the SER3 drums are fully
detachable, polymer sample clean-up from the drum surfaces has never been easier -
even for the most challenging
of polymer residues, simply remove the drums and soak them in an appropriate solvent bath
for complete sample removal. Whether it's sample clean-up, improved sample
gripping, or controlled surface properties measurements, the detachable drum
feature of the SER3 gives the user tremendous flexibility and breadth
of capability with regard to
physical material characterization.
Note that each SER3 model comes standard with a
set of SER3-DS drums.
|
 |
The SER3-DS drum set that comes standard
with each SER3 model consists of 2
precision ground drums constructed of hardened,
surgical grade stainless steel. These drums are well suited for
extensional melt rheology measurements where polymer sample clean-up can often
be challenging. Each drum has an OD of 0.406 inches (10.3 mm). |
 |
The SER3-DK drum set consists of 2
fine-knurled drums constructed of hardened, surgical grade stainless steel.
These drums are useful in gripping soft semi-solid samples during extensional
rheology or tensile measurements with the SER3. Each drum has a nominal OD
of 0.406 inches (10.3 mm).
|
 |
The SER3-DR drum set consists of 2
rough textured (similar to a 120-grit sandpaper in texture) drums
constructed of surgical grade stainless steel.
These drums are useful in gripping soft solid samples or biomaterials during extensional
rheology or tensile measurements with the SER3, particularly during fluid
immersion testing. Each drum has a nominal OD
of 0.406 inches (10.3 mm).
