 3417 standards. This rheometer, featured in the company's eight-page, four-color brochure, is used to evaluate the vulcanization vulcanization (vŭl'kənəzā`shən), treatment of rubber to give it certain qualities, e.g., strength, elasticity, and resistance to solvents, and to render it impervious to moderate heat and cold.  characteristics of rubber compounds and to control the quality in rubber manufacturing processes.

Precise sensing devices are available for measuring the dynamic torque reading and performing the accurate temperature control, according to the literature. The use of Windows operation system software is said to enhance the capabilities of quick, massive and accurate data processing.

After each test, three types of curves are shown on the monitor. These include elastic torque curve, cure rate curve and temperature curves.

After each test, the computer will automatically calculate some default data, such as minimum and maximum torque, scorch times, curing times, cure rate index, etc.

The cure curve determined by this instrument not only enables users to monitor the stability of a rubber compound, but also the processing, vulcanization and physical properties.
