The following grid lists the types of
instrumentation and test equipment
offered by suppliers. Equipment for
testing rubber vulcanizates has been
broken down into stress/strain tests;
time-dependent tests; destructive
tests; durability and electrical proper-
ties. Instruments and test equipment
for the chemical analysis of raw
materials, vulcanized and unvulcan-
ized rubber include spectroscopy;
chromatography; thermal analysis;
and microscopy.
