Trinocular Microscope with Camera and Carbon Black Dispersion Measurement Software

Introduction to Carbon Black Dispersion Test System and Industrial Microscope

The Carbon Black Dispersion Test is one of the most vital quality control tests in the polymer industry, particularly for manufacturers of polyethylene (PE) pipes, cables, and tires. The uniform distribution of carbon black within the polymer matrix is the guarantee of the product’s resistance against UV radiation and its mechanical strength.

This product is a “Total Solution” that combines the optical power of an Industrial Trinocular Microscope with the intelligence of Image Analysis Software to deliver the most precise results to the laboratory.

Hardware and Optical Features

The hardware section of this system is designed to provide crystal-clear images of the material’s microscopic structure:

• Trinocular Microscope: Features a dedicated third port for camera connection, allowing simultaneous observation through the eyepieces by the operator.
• Industrial Digital Camera: High-resolution imaging capability to capture precise details of particles and Carbon Black Agglomerates.
• Transmitted and Reflected Lighting: Adjustable lighting options to create the best contrast between the filler and the polymer background.

Intelligent Image Analysis Software (Proprietary Development)

The beating heart of this system is powerful software developed by the technical team at Polymer Test. Unlike conventional microscopes that leave quality judgment to the operator’s eye, this software eliminates human error by digitally processing the images:

• Comparison with Standards: The software intelligently compares the sample image with global standard reference images to determine the dispersion quality Grade.
• Precise Reporting: Capabilities for measuring agglomerate dimensions and providing documented reports for the quality control unit.

Reference Standards

This system is capable of evaluating samples in accordance with the following requirements:

• International Standard ISO 11345 (Assessment of carbon black and carbon dispersion in rubber compounds).
• Standard ASTM D2663 (Standard Test Methods for Carbon Black—Dispersion in Rubber).
