Evaluating Fatigue Characteristics and Heat Generation in Silica ‘Green Tire Recipe’ and Conventional Carbon Black Filled Rubber
This article investigates the flexing properties and heat generation of rubber mixtures of styrene butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber, with silica and carbon black as fillers, using Goodrich Flexometer test or Heat Build-up.7
DetailsLiquid Cell Testing via Heat Flow Meter Method
The thermal properties of liquids can be determined through the Heat Flow Meter Method. This is achieved with the DTC-300 instrument, a General Purpose Heat Flow Meter. Though a ‘standard’ sample tested via HFM is a solid disc of varying thickness, the implementation of an optional test cell allows for liquids to be tested as well, provided that they are in the range of 0.1 – 1.0 W/m·K.
