The plasticity tester is designed for the determination of the workability of ceramic materials. The plasticity value according to Pfefferkorn is determined by measuring the plasticity of a specimen between a fixed lower bearing plate and a free falling upper brass plate.
Advantages
✓ Reliable evaluation of characteristic values
✓ Simple operation
Application
For the evaluation of the workability of ceramic materials. By measuring a specimen deformed between a stationary lower bearing plate and a free falling upper brass plate the plasticity value as defined by Pfefferkorn is determined.
Design
The specimen is placed on a brass plate supported on a bearing block. A second plane plate is attached to the lower end of a free falling ram guided in a stand.
A double scale allows both readouts of specimen com-pression and plasticity value. The apparatus comes with clamping and releasing devices and with a sepe-rate mold to prepare the specimen.
| Specimen dimensions | – Diameter = 33 mm – Height = 40 mm |
|---|---|
| Weight of the falling ram | 1192 ± 5 g |
| Height of fall | 146 mm |
| Total weight of the device | 15 / 13 kg approx. |
