Vertical Impact Rebound Tester | ASTM D2632 Standard (KR-132)

Additional information

RT-134 Rubber Rebound Elasticity Tester

This machine is used to test the elasticity of rubber materials using a free-fall weight.

Product Details:

Rubber Rebound Elasticity Tester

Product Overview

The KR-132 vertical impact rebound tester is professional lab equipment built strictly in line with ASTM D2632 standard, dedicated to measuring impact resilience of solid vulcanized rubber, silicone elastomers and soft polymer sheets. It adopts fixed-height free-falling plunger impact method to calculate material rebound coefficient by recording bounce height, helping labs evaluate material elasticity, internal energy loss and dynamic damping performance.
The whole machine adopts fully mechanical vertical guide structure without power supply, featuring stable impact trajectory, zero sliding friction during plunger descent and intuitive scale reading. It is widely deployed in rubber factories, footwear material labs, polymer R&D centers and third-party inspection institutions for raw material incoming inspection, formula comparison and finished product quality monitoring.

Core Product Strengths

  1. Low-friction Vertical Guide Structure

    Precision polished stainless steel guide rod eliminates lateral offset during plunger falling; the plunger moves vertically with minimal contact friction, ensuring consistent impact force for every test and greatly improving data repeatability.

  1. Integrated Stable Cast Base with Level Calibration

    Thickened black cast iron base equipped with four fine-tuning leveling knobs and built-in bubble level gauge. Users can quickly calibrate horizontal state before testing to avoid tilt-induced test deviation. Heavy base effectively absorbs impact vibration without shifting during continuous batch testing.

  2. Clear Calibrated Height Scale

    Custom engraved full-range vertical ruler marked with clear millimeter scale, covering complete rebound observation range. Operators can directly read bounce height without auxiliary measuring tools, lowering human reading error.

  3. Standard Matching Impact Plunger & Fixed Drop Height

    Comes with standard 28g test plunger, fixed 400mm drop height fully complying with ASTM D2632 dimensional requirements; matched sample positioning base ensures impact point stays 14mm away from specimen edge as specified in the standard.

  4. Compact All-Mechanical Design, Low Maintenance

    No motor, electrical circuit or hydraulic components, completely free of power supply restriction. Only regular light lubrication for guide rods is needed, suitable for small test stations, field sampling inspection and budget-limited labs. Small footprint saves valuable bench space.

Standard Test Operation Steps

  1. Horizontal Calibration: Place the tester on a flat rigid table, adjust four bottom knobs until the bubble level sits at center position.
  2. Specimen Preparation: Cut samples to standard 12.5mm thickness and condition them under standard temperature & humidity environment as required by ASTM D2632.
  3. Sample Positioning: Put the test piece on the base platform, align the plunger impact point 14mm away from any edge of the specimen.
  4. Pre-impact Stabilization: Lift the plunger to the 400mm fixed position and release freely; repeat impact three times to stabilize the rubber surface, discard these three groups of data.
  5. Formal Data Recording: Perform impact for 3 more consecutive times, record rebound height reading for the 4th, 5th and 6th bounce, then calculate average value as final resilience index.
  6. Test Completion: Remove specimen, wipe guide rod and base to store the instrument.
