The Rubber Wallace Plasticity Tester is designed to accurately measure the properties of rubber materials, this specialized tester is engineered to measure both plasticity value and recovery value—critical indicators of rubber elasticity, deformability, and long-term performance. By quantifying how rubber responds to controlled stress and its ability to return to its original shape, the instrument provides invaluable data for material formulation, quality control, and compliance with industry standards. Equipped with an advanced HMI color LCD touchscreen, the tester automates the capture of deformation data at user-specified time intervals, streamlining operations and minimizing human error. Its intuitive interface ensures that even operators with limited technical expertise can perform complex tests with ease, making it an essential tool for laboratories and production facilities alike.
This tester adheres to a comprehensive suite of international and regional standards, ensuring its results are recognized and trusted across global markets:
- GB Standards: Compliant with Chinese national standards for rubber testing, ensuring compatibility with domestic manufacturing and quality control protocols.
- ISO Standards: Aligns with International Organization for Standardization guidelines, facilitating cross-border trade and research collaboration.
- ASTM Standards: Meets specifications set by the American Society for Testing and Materials, a benchmark for material testing in North America and beyond.
By conforming to these standards, the tester guarantees consistency and comparability of results, whether used in a local factory or a multinational research lab.
- Range: RT+10℃～120℃ (Room Temperature +10℃ to 120℃)
- Resolution: 0.1℃
- Accuracy: ±0.5℃
Temperature stability is critical for rubber testing, as temperature fluctuations can significantly affect material behavior. This tester’s precise temperature control system ensures that specimens are evaluated under consistent thermal conditions, eliminating environmental variables that could skew results. The wide range accommodates testing requirements for various rubber types, from those used in high-temperature industrial applications to materials designed for ambient conditions.
- Range: 0～7mm
- Accuracy: ±0.01mm
- Method: Percentage meter readout + PLC programming
The deformation measurement system combines high-precision percentage meters with PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) programming to capture even the smallest changes in specimen shape. This level of accuracy is essential for distinguishing between materials with subtle differences in plasticity—for example, comparing rubber compounds for tire treads, where minor variations can impact durability and performance. The automated data capture feature records deformation at predefined intervals (e.g., 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes), providing a detailed timeline of material behavior under stress.
The tester applies a standardized load of 49N, with tight tolerances to ensure uniform stress application across all tests. This consistency is vital for repeatability, allowing manufacturers to compare results from batch to batch or between different production facilities. The load system is engineered to maintain stability throughout the test duration, preventing gradual force drift that could compromise data integrity.
- Working Dimensions: 300×620×835mm (W×H×D)
- Weight: 40kg
- Power Supply: AC 220V, 50Hz
With a compact footprint, the tester fits easily into laboratory workspaces without sacrificing performance. Its sturdy construction (40kg weight) minimizes vibration during operation, further enhancing measurement accuracy. The standard AC 220V power supply ensures compatibility with most industrial and laboratory electrical systems, reducing the need for specialized setup.
Beyond its technical specifications, the tester offers several user-centric features:
- Intuitive HMI Touchscreen: The full-color LCD interface allows operators to set test parameters (temperature, time intervals, load), monitor real-time data, and review results with minimal training. Supports multiple languages, making it accessible for global teams.
- Automated Data Capture: Eliminates manual note-taking by automatically recording deformation values at specified intervals, reducing the risk of human error and saving time during post-test analysis.
- Data Storage and Export: Results can be stored locally or exported to computers via USB or network connections, facilitating documentation, trend analysis, and compliance reporting.
- Safety Features: Includes over-temperature protection, emergency stop buttons, and overload safeguards to protect both operators and specimens during testing.
This plasticity and recovery tester is indispensable across the rubber industry:
- Tire Manufacturing: Evaluating rubber compounds for treads, sidewalls, and inner liners to balance elasticity and durability.
- Automotive Components: Testing seals, gaskets, and hoses to ensure they maintain shape under pressure and temperature changes.
- Industrial Rubber Products: Assessing materials for conveyor belts, O-rings, and vibration dampeners, where plasticity directly impacts functionality.
- Research and Development: Aiding in the formulation of new rubber blends, optimizing additives to achieve desired performance characteristics.
- Quality Control: Verifying that incoming raw materials or outgoing finished products meet predefined plasticity and recovery standards.
This rubber plasticity and recovery tester combines precision engineering, user-friendly design, and compliance with global standards to deliver reliable material performance data. Its ability to measure deformation with ±0.01mm accuracy, control temperature within ±0.5℃, and automate data capture makes it a cornerstone of quality assurance and research in the rubber industry. Whether used in high-volume production facilities or specialized laboratories, it provides the insights needed to develop superior rubber products, reduce waste, and ensure compliance with stringent regulations. For manufacturers and researchers seeking to optimize material performance, this tester is an invaluable investment in accuracy and efficiency.
