Among standardized heat aging tester, this is more suitable for rubber or plastic polymers with high content of transitive additives. Geer type Oven(no.272) is commonly used for aging test of organic material in heated air. However, testing different kinds of specimen in one chamber at a time might cause a transition of additives. This metal bath adopts “Test Tube method” standardized by ISO, ASTM, JIS, which uses test tubes as independent cells to keep similar kind of specimens. Test tubes is plugged by cork that has ventilation tubes and placed in heated metal bath. This method will minimize the additive migration between specimens.

In testing deflection temperature under load, a specified bending stress is applied by means of a presser to the sample immersed in oil tank and temperature of the heating medium (oil) is raised at constant rate and the temperature when the sample attains specified deflection is determined as the deflection temperature under load (DTUL). There are flatwise testing method and edgewise testing method according to the direction of bending of sample. After conducting test, the heating medium is safely cooled at fast rate by means of an externally installed heat exchanger and repeated tests are automatically continued. Moreover, this machine can also determine vicat softening temperature (VST) manually or automatically by changing the presser with a needle shaped presser and measuring the temperature at which the needle penetrates 1mm into the sample. In addition, by manual operation it can also conduct ball pressure test specified as heat resistance test for electric products by changing the presser, etc.

This machine measures gas transmission rate (gas barrier property) of packaging materials such as plastic films. Measurement of gas transmission rate of polymer films such as plastic films, etc. is important because, for example in case of packaging materials, preservation of the content of a package considerably depends on the gas barrier property of the packing material. Recently gas transmission rate measurement is being used in new fields such as functional polymer films.
