Rapid Plastimeter
Model :
EKT-2003RP
The EKT-2003RP is a professional-grade Rapid Plastimeter system designed for ASTM D3194 and ISO 2930 compliance. It features a computerized plastimeter with precise deflection sensors and a 4-tray ageing chamber capable of holding 48 samples. The system automatically calculates the Plasticity Retention Index (PRI) to evaluate the heat resistance of raw natural rubber.
Precision Plasticity & High-Throughput Ageing
Advanced Digital Plastimeter
The EKT-2003RP utilizes two circular parallel platens and a precise deflection sensor to measure raw rubber plasticity. The integrated computer system automatically calculates the PRI (Plasticity Retention Index) by comparing aged and unaged readings, providing immediate, error-free results for grading and heat resistance evaluation.
High-Capacity Ageing Chamber
Critical for high-volume laboratories, the EKT-2003RP Ageing Chamber is designed for speed and consistency.
- 4 Independent Heating Chambers: Holds up to 48 pieces (12 samples per tray).
- Rapid Recovery: Temperature stabilizes in < 2 minutes after sample insertion, ensuring ASTM compliance.
- Stable 140°C environment for precise thermal degradation studies.
