The PF-12 plastometer is intended for measuring plasticity properties of coal heated under the conditions defined by the ASTM D 2639 – 08 and ISO 10329 standard. The outcomes of the test are plasticity nature of the coal.
The PF-12 plastometer is a fully automatic, compact, single furnace instrument. A single furnace with molten solder bath is equipped with sophisticated control system of heating range and heating rate to ensure the required accuracy level to meet the requirements of ASTM D-2639-08, ISO 10329. For quick cooling, the furnace has a built-in fan (allowing another test to be started shortly afterwards).
