• For tests on elastomers and rubber to DIN 53512 (elastomers and rubber); ISO 4662 (rubber); BS 903 Part A8 Method B (rubber); ASTM D7121 Method B (Schob)
• For tests on foam materials to DIN 13014 (polyether foam hospital mattresses).
• The objective of tests on elastomers and foams is the straightforward and fast measurement of material elasticity. One material that is up to 100% elastic stores supplied energy and releases it at the moment the force is no longer applied. In contrast, material that is up to 100% plastic absorbs supplied energy completely. These characteristics are used to measure rebound resilience

• Device features/data

  • Resolution 0.06 degrees
  • The testing system is extremely low-maintenance: The only actuator during fully automatic sequences is the gear motor.
  • The pendulum encoder.
  • The free from wear mechanics.
  • - The keyboard is dust proof.
  • The standby mode and LCD display turn this device into a low energy device.

  Operation

  • Operation is menu driven.
  • The pendulum height is easily adjustable via an eccentric with the help of a settings program.
  • Two test programs for determination of the duration of swing as well as the friction are integrated in the device.
  • The required standard is selectable and the sequence can be configured.
  • Several languages can be set (English, German, and a third one open for assignment)
  • You can connect to a PC and to the ZwickRoell testing software: The ZwickRoell testing software offers a wide range of possibilities for data transfer (from device to PC) as well as for evaluation, processing, documentation, and saving test results.
  • Rapid error analysis is possible through an integrated routine.
• A PC can be connected via the integrated RS232 C interface for the output and further processing of the test results. The ZwickRoell testing software offers options for evaluation, documentation, storage and data transfer. It can also accept and process measured values from various devices (e.g. pendulum impact testers, thickness gauges, scales, etc.).
