Products & Measurement Principles
Rubber Process Analyzer (Premier RPA)
Testing of the processing properties of rubber with Sub-Zero technology for low-temperature data.
Moving Die Rheometer (Premier MDR)
Determination of the crosslinking and cure properties of rubber with high long-term stability.
Premier MDR Duo
Dual-die design with double the test capacity at the same data output and a smaller footprint.
Mooney Viscometer (Premier MV)
Multifunctional Mooney viscosity testing of rubber materials.
Encapsulated Sample Rheometer (Premier ESR)
Characterization of the cure properties of high-performance materials using encapsulated samples.
AlphaFlex 10 Tensile Testing Machine
Tensile testing with high elongation for intensive testing and integration into the Alpha software environment.
