Applications

The High Temperature Parallel Plate Plastometer is used to determine the plasticity and recovery of un-vulcanized rubber, uncompounded rubber, and compounded rubber reclaim rubber. The specimen is heated to a specified temperature through a prescribed time and then subjected to stipulated compressive force between two parallel plates via a certain time period to assess its recovery height.

Theory/Method

ASTM D926 Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—Plasticity and Recovery (Parallel Plate Method). This test method covers the determination of plasticity and recovery of unvulgarized rubber by means of the parallel plate plastometer. Uncompounded, compounded, and reclaim rubber may be tested. In this test method, plasticity is measured in an inverse manner, as noted by the final height of the specimen. Thus, high plasticity rubbers (high degree of flow during test) are indicated by a low plasticity number.
