Which is the best rheometer for rubber testing?

The RPA flex provides the highest quality of rubber rheometer data in a user-configurable platform, making it the perfect fit for labs that need more testing capability than an MDR alone can provide.

How do I read the Cure Curve from a moving die rheometer?

Cure characteristics are attained through instruments like a Moving Die Rheometer (MDR). Without the quality control established by the MDR, production of rubber materials would be at a stand still. The video below outlines everything you need to know in order to read the MDR cure curve. This opens in a new window.

How is the MDR one moving die rheometer used?

The MDR one Moving Die Rheometer (MDR) is a reliable, accurate, and easy-to- operate rotorless curemeter perfect for routine and standards-driven testing of rubber curing. The MDR one is configured for measuring curing profiles of rubber compounds under isothermal and non-isothermal test conditions at constant user-defined strain and frequency.

What makes Montech rheometer test dies so durable?

MonTech Rheometer test dies are entirely made from superior, lot-traceable stainless steel, hardened, precision ground and polished, making the dies built to last with an extreme stiffness and durability even against the most abrasive rubber compounds.

Rubber Testing. The TA Instruments RPA elite Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA) is the most advanced rotorless rotational shear rheometer dedicated to the complete characterization of polymers, rubber and rubber compounds at all stages of manufacture.

What kind of instruments are used for rubber testing?

The new rubber testing instruments include a Rubber Process Analyzer, Moving Die Rheometer, Mooney Viscometer, Automated Density Tester and Automated Hardness Tester.

What can a moving die rheometer be used for?

Moving Die Rheometers are the standard testing method for characterisation of rubber curing in quality control as well as research and development. Compact, entry model instrument for repetitive quality control testing as well as simple R&D applications.
