    Seminar 1 Rheometer

    Uploaded by

    Swapnil Ahire
    This document discusses rubber rheometers and rheographs. It explains that rheometers measure the rheological properties of rubber as it is heated from uncured to fully vulcanized. A rheograph plots shear stress over time at constant temperature and strain. The document then discusses oscillating disk rheometers and the typical torque curve generated. It explains the significance of values on the curve like minimum torque, maximum torque, scorch times, and cure times. Finally, it lists some practical applications of rheometers in quality control and process optimization in the rubber industry.

    Presented By
    SWAPNIL S. AHIRE
    Roll No : 10MS60R02
    INTRODUCTION
     RHEOLOGY:Mechanism of flow behavior
     Rubber/elastomer is viscoelastic material:- Its
    rheological properties are govern by viscosity
    & elasticity
     RHEOMETER: Is the instrument which predict
    total rheological behavior of rubber
    compound when it is heated from uncured
    form to total vulcanized form
     RHEOGRAPH:Shear stress Vs Time at constant
    shear strain & constant temperature
    Rheological properties are function of :-

    Applied stress

    Degree of strain

    Time

    Temperature and chemical composition of stock


    TYPES OF RHEOMETER

    For ODR :
    Oscillating frequency:- 100 cycles/min
    Arc of oscillation :- ± 3º
    Air pressure :- 60 psi(4.2kg/cm2)
    Rotor used in ODR
    What is a rubber compound ?

    TYPICAL RHEOMETER CURVE


    Significance of typical rheometric curve values:-
    Torque values:-

    1. MI(initial torque).
    2. ML(minimum torque) :- It is a measure of the stiffness and viscosity
    of unvulcanized compound.
    3. MH(maximum torque) :- Highest value recorded in plateau or
    reverting curve.

    Time values:-

    1. ts2(induction time). It is scorch time for viscosity to rise two units


    above ML.
    2. ts5(scorch time) :- It is time for viscosity to rise five units above ML.
    3. tc50 :- time at which 50% curing has taken place.
    4. tc90(optimum cure time) :- Time at which 90% curing has taken
    place.
    Significance of typical rheometric curve
    values:-

    Derived values:-
    1. Cure rate :- CR=100/(tc90-ts2). It is the rate at which cross linking
    and development of stiffness of compound occurs after scorch point
    i.e compound changes from soft plastic to tough elastic material.

    2. Thermo plasticity:- TP=(MI-ML)

    3. Reversion time:- RT it is time to reach 98% MH after passing MH


    Practical applications of Rheometer:-

     Tocheck quality of raw materials


     To check quality of mixing
     To check rheological behavior of given compound
     To set processing parameters
     To study different curing systems with respect to time and
    temperature.
     To predict properties of final product

    Rheometer test is essential quality control


    parameter in rubber industry.
