Frequently Asked Questions
What is a biaxial rotator used for in thermal aging tests?
A biaxial rotator is used inside a forced-draft oven to rotate specimens during heat-and-air exposure,
helping evaluate accelerated thermal aging effects under controlled conditions.
Which standards does the DEK-TRON™ Biaxial Rotator support?
The BR-750 xp references ASTM D3012-19 and ISO 4577-1983 for thermal aging and heat exposure evaluation methods.
What materials can be tested with the DEK-TRON™ Biaxial Rotator?
Common materials include plastics and polymers, elastomers, insulation materials, wire and cable jacketing,
coatings, composites, films, and other materials evaluated for durability under elevated temperature and air exposure.
Does the DEK-TRON™ Biaxial Rotator include a forced-draft oven?
No. The rotator is designed to mount in a forced-draft oven, but the oven is not included.
What is the specimen capacity of the BR-750 xp?
The unit is rated for up to 40 test specimen samples.
