ELASTOCON TR Tester, ET 01-II, is an instrument for determination of low temperature
characteristics by the temperature retraction procedure according to ISO 2921 and
ASTM D1329.
The Elastocon TR Tester is equipped with 6 test stations and will perform the test
automatically after the cooling medium has been cooled down, and the samples are
mounted. The instrument has an automatic release of the samples, after the
pre-cooling time. The computer controls both the temperature rise and measures the
change in length of the samples. The results are displayed in a graph and TR10,
TR30, TR50 and TR70 values are calculated. The result can also be presented as a
table with change of length versus temperature. The TR-values and the tabulated
values can be exported to other software, for example spreadsheets.
An automatic cooling system with liquid nitrogen is recommended, which can be
supplied.
