Gelnorm MED010

Tg measuring

Description

For establishing the critical Temperature of fibre glass reinforcement Tg

GELNORM – MED 010 is new measuring instrument for establishment of the critical temperature (softening temperature) of fibre glass reinforcement for laminates at the point of loss of stiffness (loss of strength) in bend test specimen as a function of the temperature.

Model Med010 is the outcome of further development, to provide an extremely economical means for the thermo mechanical analysis similar to the “conventional” examination of the TMA of laminate material. The critical temperature measured is an important parameter which shows good correlation with the TMA established by method B in accordance with DIN EN 61006 – IEC 1006.
