10-20kg Compression Set Apparatus, Packaging Type : Cartons

compression set tests is intended to measure the ability of rubber compounds to retain elastic properties after prolonged action of a known compressive stress under static loading.
the “ikon” compression set apparatus for determination of compression set characteristics under constant stress consists of a calibrated loading spring, a set of carbon steel ground and chromium plated plates, and a screw arrangement to compress the spring. The apparatus is assembled over a rigid metallic base and is portable.
the test specimens are kept between plates and the load applied by compressing the spring. Load acting on the test specimens can be read from a graph which gives the value of load against spring deflections which is indicated by a pointer on the scale fixed to the tester. The whole assembly can be kept in an oven to carry out tests at elevated temperature.
the apparatus is finished in dark grey hammer-tone painting and bright chrome plating to give it a corrosion resistant finish.
molding and cutting dies for obtaining test specimens and thickness guage for checking the thickness of the specimens are available as optional accessories.
