Alpha Technologies: Setting the Standard

For businesses that manufacture rubber, polymer or composite material products according to ISO or other stringent quality manufacturing standards, Alpha Technologies’ testing instruments are the logical choice.

All of our instruments are designed and manufactured to be capable of performing key tests as defined by ASTM and ISO standards developed over many years to ensure industry-wide uniformity for measurement equipment and procedures. Our state-of-the art instruments are used by international companies to help ensure compliance to both internal and external standards.

A Rubber Testing Instrument for Every Application and Test Type

Rheometers have undergone considerable evolution since they were first used over 50 years ago, and they continue to be a critical part of the rubber testing process in both polymer and composites manufacturing.

When accurate viscosity measurement is critical in both process and laboratory environments, Alpha Technologies’ Mooney Viscometers are the ideal choice for measuring the change in a rubber and plastic viscosity over time.

Alpha Technologies offers Tensile Testers specifically designed to quickly and accurately determine how the material will react to the amount of force required to break it as well as the degree to which it extends before breaking.

Density and Hardness Testers are used to determine the hardness of rubber, elastomers and a variety of other polymers. Alpha offers a single sample or 20-sample automated tester for even more efficient testing.

Dispersion Testers are used to evaluate the distribution of carbon black added to the rubber during production process. Dispersion Testing systems from Alpha Technologies are developed based on the original Swedish optical process that measures the shadows created by fillers throughout the material.
