The laboratory Rheometer market is split into three main regions :-

bulletTop               Porpoise P9
bulletMiddle          Porpoise P9b and P7
bulletEntry             Porpoise testing, advice and calibration standards.

The Porpoise P7 Rheometer has been developed to meet market requirements. The P7 is the result of the requests made by users worldwide. The P7 covers the areas where the user wants to :- 

bulletcover general rheology of materials for extrusion purposes.
bulletmeasure a range of samples without having to clean between tests.
bulletconvert the solid to melt very quickly.
bulletautomatically test materials sequentially without operator intervention.

Porpoise are easily number one when you consider all these aspects. 

Compare the Porpoise P7 with any other kind of Rheometer and you can make the choice where your future in Rheology lies.

The P7 values are already entered for your convenience. Put in the numbers for your alternative and see the differences.

The Porpoise P7 is the world's most efficient laboratory rheometer. The P7 is the world fastest testing rheometer and does almost no work or thermal degradation to the material before the test. The Porpoise values shown are for the basic system and are minimum, obtained under any conditions. Higher performance options are available on some parameters.
