Using the correct film is not just about convenience; it directly impacts the integrity of your test results.
-
Film Thickness is Critical: The film sits between the sample and the dies, effectively becoming part of the test geometry. Variations in thickness can alter the die gap, a key parameter that influences the measured torque and thus the calculated viscosity and cure characteristics. Inconsistent film thickness leads to inconsistent data .
-
Tear Resistance: During testing, especially at high strains, the lower film is subjected to significant stress as the dies oscillate. A film with poor tear resistance will rip, causing the rubber to contact the die directly, leading to slippage, contamination, and invalid results
