The plastometer is used for the determination of plastic properties of coal by the Gieseler constant-torque method. It is designed to meet the ASTM Standard D-2639, providing critical data necessary for the thorough analyses of coking coals.

Features

• The low thermal inertia designed solder pot furnace enables rapid initial heat-up to 330ºC and quick cool-down from the maximum temperature, thus minimizing time wasted in temperature adjustments.
• A regulated torque is supplied to the rabble arm stirrer through the use of electronically regulated speed and torque control systems.
• Stirrer is embedded in the sample inside a three-piece crucible and is designed for ease of cleaning.
• The head assembly is safely lowered into the solder pot furnace by way of a rack and pinion lowering mechanism that ensures safe sample placement for every test.
• The microprocessor control unit automatically regulates the necessary power to the solder pot furnace by monitoring a type J (Iron-Constantan) thermocouple.
• During the actual test the temperature of the furnace is increased at a uniform rate of 3 ºC per minute over the operator-selected temperature range.
