Research & Testing

 

Veegrip belts LLC. is equipped with a Research & Testing laboratory, where the belts are passed through various tests to confirm product parameters for conformity with IS standards. The Among the various instruments in the laboratory are

 

RHEOMETER :

This measures the shear strength of the green mixture. The sample is placed on a rotor. A top plunger holds the top layer of the sample. Slowly the rotor rotates, and simultaneously, heat is also applied.

 

VISCOMETER :

This measures the dynamic viscosity of the green mixture. A motorized cylindrical rotor is inserted into a sample and rotated at a constant speed. The rotational viscometer employs the measurement method that assumes viscosity is directly proportional to a running torque required to produce a steady rotating motion. As shown in figure 2, when the rotation becomes steady, the running torque caused by the viscosity and the twist of the spring is balanced. The twist angle of the spring is proportional to the viscosity of the sample, and an index of this is displayed on the scale. Some devices display the digital value of the viscosity coefficient converted from running torque.

 

The other instruments include;

  • LAB HARDNESS BUTTON PRESS
  • DYNAMIC TEST RIG
  • SHORE HARDNESS TESTER- to measure the hardness of the compound
  • CD FIXTURE
  • PITCH LENGTH MACHINE
  • ELECTRICAL INSULATION TESTER, Etc...
