A measure of the indentation resistance of elastomeric or rubber materials based on the depth of penetration of a ball indentor. An initial contact force is applied to an indentor and the penetration is set to zero. The force is increased to a specified total load and the depth of penetration is measured. The IRHD value is related to the depth of indentor penetration. For highly elastic materials, IRHD and Shore A are comparable. An IRHD value of 0 represents a material with an Young's Modulus of zero and an IRHD value of 100 represents a material with an infinite Young's Modulus.

We offer a quality-approved range of Taber Type Abrasion Testers in varied specifications. This type of testers was invented by Taber in early 1930s and is highly demanded by the clients till date. Taber Type Abrasion Testers are considered to be industry standard used for testing wear and durability of different types of material such as ceramics, textiles, plastic, rubber, flooring, metals, leather and painted, acquired & electro-plated surface.

Testing conducted by these testers aids in the following:

• Research & development
• Process control
• Quality assurance

Compression set at constant strain is defined as difference between the original thickness of the test piece and that after recovery expressed as percentage of the initially applied compression. It measures the ability of vulcanized rubbers to retain their elastic properties after prolonged compression under constant strain. The compression set is determined by subjecting test specimens in shape of cylindrical discs to a constant strain for a given time at the specified temperature, after allowing them to recover.

• All the pivot points of the apparatus have ball bearing to ensure the long life and smooth operation
• The apparatus is finished in bright chrome/ zinc plating and NC based painting for a corrosion resistance finish
• Electronic counter with key reset and backup memory to count the total number of flexing cycles
• Standard IS: 5914 – 1970: Method of physical testing of leather (flexing endurance)

With the help of our experienced engineers, we are able to manufacture, supply and export a commendable array of Belt Flex Testers. These products are use to flex the soles of footwear with their actual patterns. We use finest quality components and other material to manufacture the offered product-line following industry set guidelines. Moreover, to cater to the variegated requirements of customers, we offer these testers in various sizes, specifications and models at nominal prices.

For example separating the backing from an adhesive bandage would be a 'T' peel, pulling the back of a blister pack of tablets would be either a 90 degree or 180 degree peel and pulling the seal from the top of a yoghurt pot would be a 90 degree peel.  There are varying degrees of flexibility and shapes creating a wide range of variations of these three basic peel types, requiring a variety of test grips and fixtures.

Compression set at constant strain is defined as difference between the original thickness of the test piece and that after recovery expressed as percentage of the initially applied compression. It measures the ability of vulcanized rubbers to retain their elastic properties after prolonged compression under constant strain. The compression set is determined by subjecting test specimens in shape of cylindrical discs to a constant strain for a given time at the specified temperature, after allowing them to recover.

The “IKON” Compression Set Apparatus for testing under constant strain is designed to determine compression set of vulcanized natural and synthetic rubbers. This apparatus is available in two models described below :

1) PLATES TYPE :

Consists of four austenitic steel plates, having flat and parallel ground faces. The plates are held together by a pair of high tensile steel Allen bolts. Ring type spacers of specified thickness made of magnetic stainless steel are provided to give the specified compression to the specimen under test. All the components are supplied in a wooden carrying case.

2) PLATES TYPE WITH BASE PLATE AND HAND WHEEL ARRANGEMENT :

Consists of four stainless steel plates as above fitted in a fixture having a rigid base plate and are guided on a pair of vertical rods. The spacers are also guided on the same rods and are provided with springs to increase space between the plates for inserting the specimens. The specimens are compressed with the help of a screw rotated by a handwheel. The whole arrangement enables quick application of compression load on the specimen.

Both the models are compact and can be placed inside an oven for conducting tests at elevated temperature.

Shore A is designed to measure the penetration hardness of rubber, elastomers and other rubber like substances such as neoprene, silicone, and vinyl. It can also be used for soft plastics, felt, leather and similar materials.

Compression set tests is intended to measure the ability of rubber compounds to retain elastic properties after prolonged action of a known compressive stress under static loading.
The “IKON” Compression Set Apparatus for determination of compression set characteristics under constant stress consists of a calibrated loading spring, a set of carbon steel ground and chromium plated plates, and a screw arrangement to compress the spring. The apparatus is assembled over a rigid metallic base and is portable.
The test specimens are kept between plates and the load applied by compressing the spring. Load acting on the test specimens can be read from a graph which gives the value of load against spring deflections which is indicated by a pointer on the scale fixed to the tester. The whole assembly can be kept in an oven to carry out tests at elevated temperature.
The apparatus is finished in dark grey hammer-tone painting and bright chrome plating to give it a corrosion resistant finish.
Molding and cutting dies for obtaining test specimens and thickness guage for checking the thickness of the specimens are available as optional accessories.
