Roles and Responsibilities:
Acceptance testing of compounds, materials, and in process testing of rubber compounds in accordance with the working standards and quality guidelines.
Raw Material Testing: This is the day-to-day testing of direct and indirect, reinforcing and non-reinforcing raw material requirements for Quality documentation, sampling and testing before the material can be used.
Rubber Compound Testing: This is the day-to-day pre-release testing done on mixed compounds to confirm the physical properties of the compound.
In Process Testing of Rubber Compound: Any test that requires meeting of a specification before the tested material can be used. This is the day-to-day pre-release testing done on mixed compounds and calendar material to confirm the physical properties of the compounds and calendar materials within tolerance.
Monitor Testing: Any test that is used to monitor key physical properties of a compound. These tests are done on a periodic basis to provide "snapshots" for compound physical properties that are used for trend plotting and also for bench marking.
In Process Monitoring Test: Any test that is used to monitor key physical properties of a compound. These tests are done on a periodic basis to provide "snapshots" of compound physical properties that are used for trend plotting and also for benchmarking.
