MEASURING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING PROPERTIES OF A VISCOELASTIC MATERIAL

A measuring device, in particular a measuring device of the type of a rheometer, and a method determines properties of a viscoelastic material, which has been introduced or can be introduced into a temperature-regulated sample space between an upper chamber half provided with a sensor and a lower chamber half that can be rotated relative to the upper chamber half. The lower chamber half is driven or can be driven by a motor and is connected with at least one slip ring (that creates an electric path into the interior of the sample space on the lower chamber half, so that the lower chamber half can be rotated, with reference to the upper chamber half, about an angle of rotation over 360°.
