Winter Rheology Applications Course (February 10)
November 25, 2019
Join us Monday, February 10, from 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM for a Rheology Applications Course taught by Alpha Technologies’ Applications Specialists Henry Pawlowski and Rick Hanzlik, as well as RDAbbott’s Technology Fellow Rick Ziebell, and hosted at RDAbbott’s headquarters in Cerritos, California (16511 Carmenita Road, Cerritos, CA 90703).
This modern course will give participants the opportunity to work directly with industry professionals and gain valuable experience with Alpha Technologies’ rheometers. Participants will learn the rheology behind these instruments and how to utilize this knowledge to troubleshoot material and process issues.
Alpha Technologies and RDAbbott will bridge the gap between what test results mean and how to use them to achieve superior products backed by scientific accuracy.
The cost for this course is $997 (per person). This fee includes hands-on training by a certified applications specialist, training materials, continental breakfast and lunch. Out-of-town registrants will be responsible for their own lodging and transportation.
