Efficient Testing with a Reliable Evaluation Method

High test force precision, provided by a weight-based constant test force loading system, enables high measurement reproducibility andtest efficiency. In addition to increased operability to improve testing efficiency, accurate temperature measurement and stable control areprovided through a reliable temperature control system.

Evaluation of Softening and Flow Beginning TemperatureUsing Constant Heating Rate Testing

Testing methods include a constant temperature method a constant heating rate method. The constant heating ratemethod permits measurement of resin softening temperature and flow beginning temperature to determine shearrate and viscosity at each temperature and cannot be conducted using other capillary type rheometers.

Viscosity Evaluation of Thermosetting Resin

Weight-based constant test force extrusion is used to measure the amount of piston movement (movementspeed), which is used to determine viscosity. Highly reproducible measurements of fluidity of thermosettingresins, which cure rapidly due to heating, can be determined due to the highly precise temperature control andthe range of test forces available.

Improved Efficiency

Enhanced labor-savings have been implemented throughout the entire testing process, from setting of the sample and starting the testto output of the test results. All of this greatly increases the efficiency of production procession, quality control, and research anddevelopment testing.
