Evaluating gel time of thermosetting resins | GEL TIME TESTER (MAGNET TYPE) & GEL TIME TESTER (TORQUE METER TYPE) / No.153

• No.153 GEL TIME TESTER (MAGNET TYPE)
• No.153-GTR GEL TIME TESTER (TORQUE METER TYPE)

Overview of GEL TIME TESTER (MAGNET TYPE)

This tester is made to easily measure the gelatinization time of thermoset plastic resin.
The operator is to put the test specimen into the test tube with a rotating rotor.
As the gelatinization progresses and a certain torque forms in the test specimen, the magnetic coupling system will drop the rotor to indicate that the test specimen has gelled.
