This tester is used to measure the low temperature elastic recovery of vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic rubber.
After the test specimen has been elongated under low temperature, the tester will measure the temperature at which the test specimen recovers elasticity while the temperature is kept rising.
Reference Standards
JIS K6261-4、ASTM D1329、ISO 2921
