Plastometer

Plastometers are measuring instruments used to assess the plasticity and rheological behavior of materials under a defined load or deformation. By quantifying flow resistance, penetration depth, or deformation under controlled conditions, they support quality control, batch-to-batch comparison, and process or formulation optimization in manufacturing and laboratory environments.

In this collection you’ll find solutions from PCE Instruments focused on repeatability and measurement confidence: stable load application, adjustable test parameters, clear digital readouts, and data logging/export options for traceable documentation. Different configurations are available to match a wide range of material consistencies, from softer compounds to more resistant mixes, suitable for both lab testing and production-floor checks.

Plastometers are commonly used by process engineers, R&D labs, and QC teams across polymers and elastomers, adhesives and sealants, ceramics, as well as food and cosmetics—anywhere consistent plasticity directly impacts workability, forming behavior, and final product performance.
