Description

The very precise surface temperature control of the precision heating plate and the integrated stopwatch of the Coesfeld Geltest testers enable the user to determine reproducible and comparable gel times. The test substance is placed in the polished hollow of the temperature-controlled heating plate by means of a measuring spoon. At the same time, the built-in stopwatch is actuated. The sample is stirred evenly with a stirring needle until no more resin threads form when the needle is jerked upwards. When this point is reached, the clock is stopped and the time is read in seconds. The measured time until this resin state is reached is called the gel time.
