Features & Benefits

  • Used to determine the temperature of gel transition for thermoplastic materials using a heated metal block.

  • The test is visual.

  • The instrument has four test positions.

  • Working temperature: +20°C to +300°C.

  • Meets ASTM and equivalent standards.

"Gel Time" is that temperature at which a transformation of physical state on the specimen under test occurs. By putting the specimen into a hemispheric concave site got in a plate, we get this plate to take on temperature values - gradually growing - up to that value in correspondence of which, the change of physical state into the specimen being examined, is visually observed. This last value is the one sought.
