plastic rubber brittleness temperature tester

Rubber Low-Temperature Brittleness Tester China Manufacturer

Brittleness Temperature Tester is intended to determine the lowest temperature at which plastic or rubber materials do not exhibit brittle failure or the temperature at which half of the specimens used in a test fail when subjected to strikes under specified conditions.

The low-temperature brittleness tester can be used to make comparative identification of functional performance for the non-rigid plastic and other elastic materials under the low-temperature condition and measure the pros and cons of low-temperature properties of different rubber materials and compound rubbers with different formulas. Therefore, the brittleness temperature tester is one of the vital rubber instruments in the quality inspection of scientific research and controlling the production process.

This testing machine comprises a refrigeration system, temperature control device, temperature-measuring device, heat-transfer medium, cooling bath, automatic alarm device, etc.

After turning on the refrigerating switch, the compressor starts working to enter into the refrigerating state. When it is close to the set temperature, the heating device in the cooling tank starts to provide heat in proportion to balance the excess cold produced by the refrigeration system to achieve the purpose of constant temperature. Stirring can continuously circulate the cooling medium in the cooling bath to ensure the uniformity of temperature.

Test Principle

A test piece is clamped in the clamp and immersed into the constant low-temperature container with the freezing medium to precool for 5 minutes. A striking edge is delivered to impact the specimen at the linear velocity of 2 ± 0.2 m / s. The operator examines each test piece to determine whether or not it has failed. According to different results, the operator lowers or raises the temperature of the cooling medium and continues the test until the brittleness temperature of the test sample is measured.
