Hard Skills
IntermediateRubber Physical Property TestingThe process of measuring mechanical characteristics of rubber samples such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and tear resistance using specialized machinery.
EntryDurometer Hardness TestingMeasuring the resistance of rubber materials to indentation using Shore A or Shore D scales to verify material consistency.
AdvancedRheology AnalysisMonitoring the flow and curing characteristics of rubber compounds using Moving Die Rheometers (MDR) or Oscillating Disc Rheometers (ODR).
IntermediateVisual Quality InspectionThe systematic identification of surface defects, contamination, air pockets, or dimensional variations in finished rubber products.
IntermediateLaboratory Equipment CalibrationThe routine adjustment and verification of testing instruments to ensure accuracy and compliance with international standards like ISO or ASTM.
EntryTechnical Record KeepingAccurately documenting batch numbers, test parameters, and results in a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) or physical logbooks.
