  • Description: In this article, we present a new apparatus based on a static method to simultaneously measure rheological properties of a dense (liquid or liquid+solid) medium and sample phases (dense and gaseous) for analysis purposes. It was especially designed to study coal pastes in the working conditions of hydroliquefaction processes. It can also be used to study other mediums such as asphalts and polymers. The rheometer part of the apparatus was already tested and results published in a previous paper. The ability of the new apparatus to get reliable vapor–liquid equilibrium data in the range of thermal stability of chemical materials is shown as a result of measurements on the nitrogen-n-heptane system at 497.1 K and the methane-n-hexadecane system at 623.1 K and comparison to literature’s data. Reproducibility tests have displayed very small data dispersion.
