This tester is made to easily measure the gelatinization time of thermoset plastic resin.
The operator is to put the test specimen into the test tube with a rotating rotor.
As the gelatinization progresses and a certain torque forms in the test specimen, the magnetic coupling system will drop the rotor to indicate that the test specimen has gelled.
- Features
- - Measures the gelation time of thermoset plastic resins.
- - Uses a magnetic coupling system to detect gel formation.
- - Features a rotating rotor for sample testing.
- - Detects gel formation through changes in sample torque.
- - Automatically indicates when the test specimen has gelled.
- - Designed for easy operation and reliable testing.
- - Helps evaluate resin curing behaviour.
