Test Temperature Retraction (TR) Test

Setting up the Automatic TR Tester – Brittleness Point Tester for Temperature Retraction and Brittleness of Rubber The setup for the Temperature Retraction (TR) test includes:

• Sample holder designed for conducting tests on 6 samples simultaneously
• Pneumatic lifting system facilitating easy handling of the sample holder
• Software based on the Windows platform for executing the TR test

The Sample Holder enables:

• Simultaneous testing of 6 samples.
• Automated measurement of retraction for each sample with a resolution of 0.02 mm.
• Locking of sample positions in the extended state during test preparation.
• Automatic release of test samples upon completion of the conditioning period.

Temperature Retraction (TR) Test Software The software allows you to:

• Choose the Test Procedure, which automatically configures the instruments
• Input sample identifications (up to 3 products)
• Cool and condition the samples
• Initiate the test
• Generate Retraction Curves for each sample
• Compute test results and statistical data
• Verify tolerance limits for each product
• Archive results and curves in the standard SQL Database

Test Report:

The test report can be printed or saved as a PDF document in one of the provided languages. Users also have the ability to customize the format of the test report according to their preferences.

Brittleness Point Test

Setting Up the Automatic TR Tester – Brittleness Point Tester for Temperature Retraction and Brittleness of Rubber The setup for the Brittleness Point test includes:

• Pneumatically operated striker
• Sample holder designed for conducting tests on 10 samples simultaneously
• Software based on Windows platform for Brittleness Point test execution
• Datagest software for managing the database.

The striker adheres to international standards, and the clearance can be adjusted based on the specific test requirements (4.8, 5.2, 5.7, 6.4 mm). A pneumatic piston propels the striker, allowing tests to be conducted while the samples are immersed in the cooling liquid. A pressure regulator enables the striker's velocity to be fine-tuned in accordance with standards, accounting for the number of samples and the density of the cooling liquid being utilized. The software enables the preparation and storage of test procedures featuring customized test conditions.

Brittleness Point Software

The Brittleness Point Software enables you to: 

• Choose the Test Procedure, which automatically configures the instrument
• Cool and condition the samples
• Trigger the striker at the conclusion of the sample conditioning period
• Capture the temperature and striker velocity data
• Permit the user to input test results post-visual inspection
• Ready the instrument for subsequent tests
• Compute and store the Brittleness Point Temperature

Brittleness Point Test Report:

The test report for the Brittleness Point Test can be either printed or saved as a PDF in one of the available languages. Users also have the ability to customize the format of the test report according to their preferences.
