A carbon black content tester measures the percentage of carbon black (fine black powder after combustion of carbon-containing compounds) present in plastic and rubber through combustion methods. The content tester is used in quality control, laboratory research, and institutional settings to demonstrate ideal results of ISO and ASTM standards. This guide breaks down how a carbon black content tester works, what kind of materials can be tested, and the industrial requirements and specs for purchasing a carbon black content tester.
