About The RDA-3

The RDA-3 is a rotational rheometer created to service the X, y, and z industries with their material testing.

The RDA-3 Rheometer was designed and manufactured by Rheometrics, Inc. in Piscataway, NJ. Later, Rheometrics was taken over by TA-Instruments and they relabeled the device the RDA-III. The device was 100% the same except for labeling.

Repair & Service

Patel scientific has several decades of hands-on experience repairing and maintaining most new and older Rheometrics-created devices. Our founder was a field service tech for Rheometrics for about 20 years and when taken over, he established Patel Scientific Corp and continues supporting these robust devices. Although the instruments are very reliable, invariably things happen like current surges, static electricity and other normal real-world things that cause the instrument to fail
