Rubber & Plastics Calibration Capabilities

General Rubber & Plastics Calibrations

Capillary Rheometers

Capillary rheometers are used to measure the flow properties of molten polymers and other materials under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, providing data crucial for understanding their processing behavior.

Extruders

Extruders are used in manufacturing processes to push or force materials through a die to create continuous shapes or products with consistent cross-sections.

Extrusion Plastometers

Extrusion plastometers are used to measure the melt flow properties of thermoplastic materials by extruding them through a standardized die under controlled temperature and pressure conditions.

Injection Presses

Injection presses are used in manufacturing to produce parts by injecting molten material into a mold cavity under high pressure, widely utilized for creating rubber or plastic components with precise shapes and dimensions.

Rapid Plastimeters

Rapid Plastimeters are devices used to quickly measure the fluidity and flow characteristics of materials under specific temperature and load conditions.

Rubber Laboratory Presses

Rubber presses are used in manufacturing to mold and shape rubber materials under high pressure and temperature, ensuring the production of precise and durable rubber products.

Rubber Rheology

Mooney Viscometers (MV)

Mooney viscometers are instruments used to measure the viscosity and processing characteristics of rubber and elastomers under controlled temperature and shear conditions.

Moving Die Rheometers (MDR)

Moving die rheometers are instruments used to measure the viscoelastic properties of materials by subjecting a sample to controlled oscillations under heat, providing insights into its flow behavior and mechanical properties under varying conditions.

Oscillating Disk Rheometers (ODR)

Oscillating disk rheometers are instruments used to measure the cure characteristics of rubber and other elastomers by subjecting a sample to controlled oscillations under heat, providing essential data for optimizing processing conditions and ensuring material quality in manufacturing.

Rubber Process Analyzers (RPA)

Rubber process analyzers are advanced instruments used to analyze the viscoelastic properties and curing behavior of rubber compounds under controlled temperature and deformation conditions, crucial for optimizing material formulations and manufacturing processes.

Torque Standards

MDR / RPA Torque Standards

MDR torque standards, compression and non-compression, are calibration tools used to verify and maintain the accuracy of Moving Die Rheometers (MDRs) and Rubber Process Analyzers (RPAs) by providing known torque values for comparing and adjusting instrument measurements, ensuring reliable characterization of rubber curing properties.

ODR Torque Standards

ODR (Oscillating Disk Rheometer) torque standards are calibration tools used to verify and maintain the accuracy of rheometers by providing known torque values for comparing and adjusting instrument measurements.
