Basic, Intermediate & Advanced Rubber Technology self-paced training courses provide convenient learning for all levels of rubber education.
Featured training for July include:
July 9-12 – Webinar Series: Static, Dynamic & Fatigue Characterization Testing -Instructor: Paul Merda, ARDL
There are several ways to characterize the physical performance of rubber compounds, rubber components or full parts/assemblies. This webinar series seeks to highlight some of the static testing, dynamic testing and fatigue testing options that are available to aid in such characterization. The following topics will be discussed: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Support Testing (testing on rubber, static); Fatigue Testing (testing on rubber, fatigue); Vibration Testing (testing on sub-assemblies or components, dynamic and fatigue); Dynamic Characterization (testing on components or full parts, dynamic)
July 17 – Course: An Introduction to Continuous Vulcanization – Instructor: Richard D. Strong, Elastomeric Consulting Services LLC
This course was developed for rubber industry employees who currently use Continuous Vulcanization (CV) processes and wish to expand their knowledge or those who wish to gain insights into these processes and how they can be used.
It will offer an overview of the variety of commercially viable Continuous Vulcanization processes and their strengths and weaknesses. Following that, it will take the participants into a more in-depth study of the three most common forms of CV, Liquid Curing Media (LCM), better known as the Salt Bath process, Hot Air Vulcanization (HAV) and Microwave/Hot Air Vulcanization. The emphasis will be on practical knowledge that can be utilized in production along with safety concerns that always need to be addressed. Click for full details.
