Placing the specimen on the parallel plate and after adding prescribed load for a specific amount of time, the plastometer reads the thickness of the specimen and multiplies the thickness 100 times to acquire the degree of plasticity.
Reference Standards
JIS K6249, ASTM D926, ISO 7323
- Short Description
