In December, this firm introduced a comprehensive portfolio for the petrochemical industry that enables analyses of crude oil through refined products, such as bitumin. The firm offers a range of accessories for its rheometers so customers can, for example, simulate conveyance conditions in pipelines. A variety of pressure sensor systems, for pressures up to 40 bars and temperatures to 300°C, is available as well as a chemically resistant Hastelloy version. The RheoScope module for the Haake Mars rheometer platform enables simultaneous measurements of rheological characteristics and structural formations. This capability allows users to learn more about crystal growth in crude oil (waxing), to help optimize the flow of oil through pipelines. — Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Karlsruhe, Germany
