Overview:
The mooney viscometer is a shearing-disc viscometer, which permits to measure the Mooney viscosity, Pre-curing (scorch) and Stress Relaxation Characteristics
of uncompounded or compounded rubbers.
The test is carried out by measuring the torque, which has to be applied under specified temperature and pressure conditions, in order to rotate a metal disc at 2rpm speed
in the cylindrical test chamber filled with rubber
The resistance offered by the rubber to this rotation is expressed as the Mooney viscosity of the test piece.
Standards the instrument complies with
ASTM D 1646; ISO 289-1/2/3/4; DIN 53 523
Numerical test data (for each test procedure up to 20 test results can be selected)
