It is now possible to make tire performance predictors measurements in torsion – providing 11 key tire performance predictors in about 23 minutes. So, instead of spending a lot of money on a DMA, hiring a skilled technician, and waiting a prohibitively long time for results, you can add Sub-Zero technology to your Premier RPA and get the data you want in one efficient, cost-effective tool.
RPA Sub-Zero
Alpha Technologies’ Sub-Zero TechnologyTM enables faster, more accurate testing at low temperatures and delivers:
- Expanded Temperature Range: Enables low-temperature testing for cold-weather material performance, including predictors for wet and snow traction in tires.
- Advanced Characterization: Accurately determines viscoelastic properties, such as the glass transition of elastomeric materials, and performs time-temperature or frequency-temperature superposition.
- Effortless Operation: Eliminates the need for liquid nitrogen, offering a faster, simpler, and more user-friendly testing process.
