Mooney Viscometer

Description

The Vluchem’s Mooney Viscometer (MV-10) which measures the Mooney viscosity is defined as the shearing torque resisting rotation of a rotor embedded in rubber within a cylindrical cavity. At the end of a Mooney viscosity test, the rotation of the rotor is suddenly stopped and the rate of decrease of torque is monitored as a function of time. This is called stress relaxation. Characteristics of uncompounded or compounded rubbers and measured according to ASTM D 1646, ISO 289, KS M ISO 289-1, 2 and 4. The instrument is equipped with the highest torque measurement, reliability, along with stiff hardware, superior heater, temperature sensor, temperature controller and Vluchem’s own designed data acquisition device and software.
