About Oscillating Disc Rheometer
An Oscillating Disc Rheometer (ODR) is a specialized, rotor-based testing instrument used to analyze the viscosity and vulcanization characteristics (cure rate, scorch time) of rubber and polymer compounds. By oscillating a biconical disc within a sealed, heated chamber, it measures the torque required to shear the sample, directly plotting the vulcanization reaction against time to optimize manufacturing processes.
