Description Overview Rapid plastimeter is a microprocessor-controlled unit with plasticity retention determination feature. Equipped with an ageing oven for precise ageing of elastomers. Host fast compression cylindrical specimens ensure rapid plasticity index determination. Variable loading duration provides compatible time adjustments of retention index testing. Used for determining the viscosity, plasticity, plastic retention index of unvulcanised and unprocessed natural rubber.
