Temperature & Linearity Calibration Kit
The temperature verification is done by placing the temperature probes on upper and lower platens and measuring the temperature.
Linearity is verified by using various sized slips placed between the upper and lower platens.
Force Calibration Kit
The Force Calibration Kit has been designed utilising the principles of a force on a lever. The length of the load calibrating arm and the mass of the weights are calculated so that the correct force is simulated accurately. Using this principle the operator can easily establish that the correct forces are being exerted in the clamping and measuring state.

A weekly check is recommended. More frequent checks can be made. If you would like training on how to perform this test please contact us.

We recommend using the Force Calibration Kit quarterly, but this is dependent on usage levels of your P14 Rapid Plastimeter. If you would like training on how to perform this test please contact us.

The P14 measures plasticity by applying a controlled compression force to a sample at a precisely controlled temperature and for defined time periods. Calibration verifies critical test parameters such as platen temperature, compression force, timing, and thickness measurement. This helps ensure that plasticity values accurately reflect the properties of the rubber being tested.
