Williams Parallel-plate Plastometer

Rubber & Plastic Plasticity Tester China Manufacturer

Williams Parallel-plate Plastometer is intended to measure the plasticity number and recovery number of uncompounded, compounded rubber and reclaimed stocks of unvulcanized rubber and rubber-like materials. The Parallel-plate plastometer is mainly composed of two plates, a dial indicator gauge, oven, dial micrometer gauge.

Test Principle

A test piece of specified volume is preheated to a specified temperature for 15 min, and a compressive force of 49 N is applied for a specified time. The height of the test piece is measured. The test piece is allowed to recover at the test temperature for a specified time. The height of the recovered test piece is measured, and the difference between the two heights is taken as the recovery number.

Plasticity Number

A test piece with a specific volume and height is heated to a prescribed temperature for a given period and then subjected to a compressive force of 49 N for a specified time. At the end of the time, the height of the test piece is measured, and the plastic number is calculated.

Recovery Number

Procedure A – The test sample is removed from the plastometer immediately after the determination of plasticity and allowed to cool and recover some of its original height for a specified time at a specified temperature. The height is measured again, and the recovery is calculated.

Procedure B – The test sample is compressed to a height of 5mm for the 30s and then allowed to recover at the test temperature for 5min. The height is measured again, and the recovery is calculated.
