Gehman Torsion Tester
Model : Model:TM-2500 Series
- Rubber and Plastics
- ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE
- Low Temperature Properties
Rubber that has flexible elasticity at room temperature becomes inactive in molecular motion at low temperatures and gradually hardens, and freezes below the glass-transition temperature (Tg), making it impossible to perform the original functions of rubber. This phenomenon has a significant impact on practical use, such as tires used in extremely cold regions and parts of aircraft flying in the stratosphere. The Gehman torsion tester measures the modulus of rubber with such properties at low temperatures, and the test method is adopted in JIS K6261-3 and ISO 1432.
-
It is possible to measure up to 6 test pieces, and as recommended by JIS K6261-3, test pieces with known low-temperature torsional stiffness can be tested at the same time, so highly reliable data can be obtained.
-
Graphs of measurement data obtained on the display screen are temperature-apparent torsional modulus as well as temperature-torsional angle curves.
-
In addition to the temperature for each relative modulus value defined by JIS from the temperature-torsion angle curve, the glass transition temperature (Tg), which is an important parameter indicating the low temperature characteristics of rubber, is also obtained with the Gehman torsion tester.
-
The compact design allows installation in a small space, so it does not take up space.
