Apparatus and method to measure the plasticity of materials like ceramic raw material and ceramic mass

摘要

The method involves a weight (6) acting on a specimen body (4) and measuring a displacement signal reproducing the deformation of the body. The time profile of the reaction force produced by the deformation body is also measured and the measurement values of force and displacement are fed into a computer for processing and evaluating. An independent claim is also included for the following: (a) an arrangement for implementing the inventive method.
