PETPlus - IV Measurement

Polymer_Testers_PETPlus_IV_Testing_Machine_210x360_1

The Davenport PETPlus IV testing machine is a unique and solvent-free test instrument designed for fast and safe intrinsic viscosity (IV) measurement of moisture-sensitive polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The instrument can be operated in stand-alone mode to provide on-screen results, or used with the powerful data analysis software, NEXYGENPlus PET.

Existing solvent methods for determining IV involve the need to handle and dispose of toxic solvents. The PETPlus method, however, is kinder to the environment and saves on the high costs of purchase and disposal of solvents.

Unlike other IV measurement instruments, the PETPlus can test polymers at virtually all stages of the process: including incoming resin, powder, dry granules, molten polymer, performs, PET bottles, films, and even re-ground material, thereby eliminating scrap.

LD Series (bench mounted)

The powerful LD Series testing machines from Lloyd Instruments combine high performance, ease of use and superior flexibility. These universal materials testing machines are ideal for testing applications up to 100 kN (22480 lbf) and are designed for both routine quality control testing, automated testing and for performing complex multi-stage testing.

All LD Series testing machines feature an extra-large working area of 452 mm (17.8 in) and crosshead travel up to 1070 mm (42 in) extendable to 1669 mm (65.7 in).
