Digital Tensile Testing Machine

Test Method – IS 3400:2012 Part I

Feature –

  • Variable frequency 2 -speed control
  • Digital load indication
  • Capacity – 5000 N

Application – For determining the tensile and elongation properties for rubber compounds

Ozone Chamber

Test Method – IS 9573:2012

Ozone Chamber covers the estimation of the resistance of vulcanized rubber to cracking when exposed to an atmosphere containing ozone. The rubber specimens are kept under a surface tensile strain, and the ozone content or partial pressure in the test chamber is maintained at a fixed value. It provides precise and accurate ozone (O3) concentration environment for rubber and polymer testing

Application – It is used to evaluate the ozone ageing resisting performance of Rubber.

Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectrometer

Test method – ISO 4650:2012 (E)

Feature –

  • Real time, ratio-recording instrument with built in handling facilities
  • Continuous recording of infrared transmittance or absorbance of sample as a function of frequency to record spectra.
  • Minimum sample preparation required for testing.

Application – Qualitative identification and estimation of Compounds in polymer materials

Humidity Chamber

Test Method – IS 3400:2012 Part I

Feature –

  • Temperature upto 10 Deg C / 60 Deg C and humidity range 40% to 95% Rh
  • Microprocessor controller with LCD display and sensor for precise control of temperature and humidity.
  • Self-Diagnosis for errors
  • PC Compatible

Application – For conditioning of Rubber samples prior to testing

Pantone Spectrophotometer

A spectrophotometer that compares Pantone shades with RPVC film samples, providing L, A, B, ΔL, ΔA, ΔB, and ΔE values. The spectrophotometer is an indispensable tool for quantifying and comparing colors objectively

Deep Freezer

Assesses the performance of the LPG Hose at low temperature

-50 °C for testing rubber components

Thermal Gravimetric System

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a method of thermal analysis in which changes in

physical and chemical properties of materials are measured as a function of increasing temperature

(with constant heating rate) or as a function of time (with constant temperature and/or constant mass loss)

Automatic IRHD Hardness Tester

This facility facilitates testing of Hardness of Rubber slabs, Rubber buttons & O-Rings

Video Measuring System

A CNC Multi-Sensor Video Measuring Machine (3D machine) with Vision (Optics), Point Laser and Tactile Probing for accurate automatic measurement of the rubber and plastic components.
