Accelerated aging test oven

chamberelectricfor the plastics industry

Thermal regulated Block for the performance of aging tests in air and in liquids of elastomeric materials at temperatures up to 250°C conforming to ISO 188, 1817 ASTM D 471 and 865 Standards. Aging tests are typically carried out to measure the variation of characteristics of an article before and after the aging process. The characteristics that are most frequently measured before and after aging are: • Variation of mechanical characteristics (loading, lengthening, tearing) • Variation of hardness • Percentage variation of mass and volume. Gibitre, in addition to providing this tool to perform accelerated aging in air or in liquid, also provides the tools to measure changes in the properties of the article and to produce the related reports. Instruments Characteristics The instrument is fitted with: • Aluminium block contained in a stainless steel housing with thermal insulation with 4 calibrated holes designed for the insertion of 4 glass test tubes • Heating resistance • PT 100 thermal probe for temperature measurement • PID thermoregulator • Timer for the set of the heating time with automatic switch off of the heater at the end of the set time Timer for Auto-Stop The instrument is equipped with a timer that can be set between 0 and 99 hours and 59 minutes. The instrument automatically stops at the end of the set test time. The Timer allows you to activate aging cycles by ending the test automatically in the absence of the operator.
