Rubber Material Testing Equipments – Comprehensive Characterization for Durability and Performance

Rubber materials are ubiquitous across industries—from automotive seals and hoses to industrial gaskets and consumer goods. Ensuring consistent quality and predictable performance requires a suite of specialized testing instruments capable of simulating real-world stresses. At Shijiazhuang Zhongshi Testing Machine Co., Ltd., our rubber material testing equipments enable researchers, quality engineers, and production managers to evaluate mechanical, thermal, and environmental characteristics with precision.

Key Testing Capabilities

• Tensile and Tear Resistance: Universal testing machines fitted with rubber-specific grips measure tensile strength, elongation, and tear propagation according to standards like ASTM D412 and ISO 37. Data on how rubber deforms and ultimately fails under load informs material selection and compound formulation.

• Compression Set: Compression testers heat rubber samples under a fixed strain and then measure permanent deformation after recovery, in line with ASTM D395. This test predicts how seals and gaskets will retain shape over time.

• Hardness Measurement: Shore durometers (Shore A, D) gauge surface resistance to indentation, providing insights into compound rigidity and suitability for dynamic applications.

• Fatigue and Flexing: Flexing or bending machines repeatedly deform rubber samples at controlled amplitudes and frequencies. Tracking stiffness changes and crack initiation allows estimation of service life in oscillating applications like engine mounts.

• Environmental Aging: Ozone chambers, UV-exposure cabinets, and thermal aging ovens expose rubber to accelerated conditions. Measuring changes in tensile strength, hardness, and visual cracking helps forecast field performance under sunlight, heat, or oxygen-rich atmospheres.

Data Management and Automation
Modern rubber testing labs benefit from integrated software platforms offering test programming, real-time data visualization, statistical analysis, and report generation. At Shijiazhuang Zhongshi Testing Machine Co., Ltd., our systems support multi-station testing, remote monitoring, and centralized data archives—enabling traceability and streamlined quality control.
