The Moving Die Rheometer provides detailed testing curves and results critical for analyzing rubber compounds’ vulcanization process. These curves help measure specific torque values and times, which correspond to various stages of vulcanization:

• ML (Minimum Torque): This measures the viscosity or flow characteristics of the unvulcanized rubber sample, indicating how easily the material can deform before curing.

• MH (Maximum Torque): This represents the shear modulus or rigidity of the fully vulcanized rubber sample, showing the stiffness after curing is complete. As well as the maximum torque of flat and titration curves, it covers even when these curves don’t appear within the expected time frame.

• Ts1, Ts2, Ts10, Ts30, Ts60, Ts90 (Minimum Times): These reflect the incremental increases in torque (ML) over time, showing how quickly the rubber cures. For example, Ts1 is the time required for the torque to increase by 1 dNm over ML, while Ts90 represents the time when the torque reaches 90% of the difference between ML and MH, indicating optimal vulcanization.
