Automatic Parallel Plate Plasticity Meter

An automatic parallel plate plasticity meter (automatic William plastometer) evaluates the plasticity of a material by sandwiching a sample between parallel plates and applying a load to measure how the height of the sample changes over time. Designed with an emphasis on ease of use, fully automatic measurement is possible with the touch of a button.

The automatic William plastometer is designed as a tabletop device with an integrated structure, and can measure deformation when pressurized on a sample with high accuracy. This device is widely used to evaluate the plasticity of silicone rubber, and the process from the start of recording to the end of the test automatically proceeds simply by pressing a button. According to standard measurement protocols, a 49N load is applied to the sample, and the measurement range is compatible from 0 to 15 mm high.

Since plastometers comply with international standards such as JIS K 6249, ISO 7323, and ASTM D 926, they provide reliable test results. With such devices, quality control during the manufacturing process can be performed more precisely, and efficient product development is possible.
