No.170 CLASH-BERG TORSION FLEXIBILITY TESTER (MANUAL)
JIS (K6734), (K6745), K6924-2, ASTM D1043, ISO 458

- This tester is used to measure the softening temperature of plastic.
- The test specimen is to be attached to the upper and lower Chucks of the tester and then dipped into water which the temperature is raised at a constant speed.
- At every 5 °C the water temperature has rises, the operator is to leave the test specimen untouched for 3 minutes.
- After the 3 minutes have passed, twisting torque is to be added to the test specimen so that the rigidity coefficient can be calculated from the twisting angle.
- The softening temperature will be acquired from the temperature-rigidity coefficient curving line.
