Temperatures up to 1400 degC and pressures up to 100 MPaare required, though not necessarily at the same time. It is expected that it may not be possible to satisfy all requirements with a single rheometer, in which case the bid should comprise a suite of instruments that, together, can satisfy the requirements.
