Rubber Viscosity Measurement Device

The rubber viscosity tester measures the torque value by rotating a rotor in the rubber material and converts it into viscosity. It is used to detect the flowability of unvulcanized rubber, guiding the mixing process and quality control. It is applied in rubber factories and quality inspection institutions for evaluating the processing performance of rubber materials.
Selection
Select the corresponding rotor model according to the testing standards; match the torque range based on the viscosity range of the rubber compound; consider temperature control accuracy and sample quantity compatibility; choose a data output method that meets recording requirements; confirm that the fixture is suitable for the shape of the rubber sample.
