Manual Standard Flexometer
The Compression Flexometer is used as testing instrument in the rubber industry. Especially producers of fillers (carbon black etc.) and the tire industry use this type of Compression Flexometer. The test is based on the standards ISO 4666, DIN 53 533, part 3 or ASTM D 623.
This dynamic test (performed using weights and a beam of balance).is fixed at 30Hz and working with a constant load.
The following results are obtained:
- The heat built up (detected via the contact temperature at the lower platen,).
- The specimen deformation as well as the temperature in the centre of the specimen.
- A puncture needle measures the temperature directly after the test, with the specimen still being inside the Flexometer.
We the instrument either as manual or fully automated version with up to 20 specimen.
Manual Test
The specimen is placed manually between the platens and after the test it is manually removed from the platens. These two actions, represent the only difference between a manual and an automatic test.
At the start of the test the platens are moved together as defined. Preheating times are taken into account and eventually necessary cooling times are reported to the user .
At the end of the test, the puncture needle automatically detects the centre temperature of the specimen (This feature was introduced since 1984). The platens are moved apart and the specimen is released for removal.
