OREC™ (OREC) 0500 – 0900 Series Ozone Test Chamber Accessories for ASTM and ISO Ozone Tests

OREC™ Options and Accessories: Model W Test Chamber Stand

0500 with Model 5W Stand

The OREC™ Model W Ozone Test Chamber stands are designed for use with all models of OREC™ Ozone Test Chambers. While bench and counter top space is at a premium in most laboratories, the Model W Stands allow “stand alone” functionality and permit location of the test chamber virtually anywhere in the laboratory, optimizing space usage.

The Model 5W Stand is designed for the 0500 Series cabinets and the Model 9W Stand for the 0900 Series cabinets.

The stands are mounted on lockable, full swivel, caster wheels with chemical resistant thermoplastic elastomer treads that are resistant to harsh chemicals and allow for the ease of re–positioning, maintenance and cleaning. The stands also provide useful storage space behind two large access doors which feature corrosion resistant chrome hinges and dual action handles. Please note that on some models, this space is used for high concentration ozone generating equipment.

The stands are constructed of heavy-duty sheet metal and welded steel for durability and are coated with a quality hybrid powder-coat finish and color–matched to the cabinet for both ease of maintenance and aesthetics.

OREC™ Options and Accessories: DynaStretch™ Rubber Stretching Apparatus

The DynaStretch™ is designed for the dynamic stretching (flexing) of rubber and other elastomers, which are flexed during end–use such as tires, shock absorbers, vibration dampeners, shoe soles, etc.
Most rubber products more readily ozonize when subjected to dynamic flexing, vibration, and other cyclical stresses or strains. The DynaStretch™ provides controlled dynamic forces for testing ozone resistance of compounds under dynamic testing conditions, conforming to ASTM D3395 Method A Standard Test Methods for Rubber Deterioration-Dynamic Ozone Cracking in a Chamber.
The DynaStretch™ is accommodated by all models of OREC™ Ozone Test Chambers and when ordered with the chamber, the DynaStretch™ is shipped installed from the factory.

DynaStretch™ Specifications

OREC™ Options and Accessories: Specimen Molds and Cutting Dies


CCSi manufactures an array of superior quality Ultra-Life Specimen Molds, designed with the CAD process and engineered specifically for producing the highest quality test specimens.		ASTM D1171 Specimen Mold
They are CNC/CAM manufactured of high carbon content steel, precision ground, then hand honed and polished. The molds may be plated or coated with a variety of standard or innovate materials ... from chrome to titanium oxide!
The mold platens are extra thick which prevents disfiguration from the effects of heat and pressure, as well as extending the useful life of the mold.
ASTM D3182 Single Cavity Mold	Deeper flash pockets allow for quality specimen molding, even in overfill situations, and recesses facilitate specimen identification, grain direction, etc.
	The industrial chrome plated hinges are of a unique “lever–action” design, assuring the even distribution of pressure on initial press closure and facilitate re–opening. The stainless steel handles rotate 360º in their supports to facilitate mold re–opening.
	Test specimens for conducting ozone deterioration analysis, specifically ASTM D3395 Method A, ASTM D1149 and ASTM D518, are generally die—cut from molded sheets.
CCSi Ultra-Life Specimen Cutting Dies are manufactured from homogenous, solid, high carbon content A2 tool steel. Each undergoes multi-axis precision grinding and conventional, plunge, or wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) processes ... producing a world-class, close tolerance die.	Examples of Specimen Cutting Dies
The dies are derived from solid blocks of quality high carbon content steel to tolerances better than requirements. All dies also include a certificate of compliance to the applicable method and molded plastic storage case. Options for mounting to virtually any press and “mallet” handles are available.
