Tensile tester – horizontal

Description

 

Code: E.207.xxx

Use

For determining the tensile strength in dry or wet condition, the elongation and the tensile force absorption (TEA) of paper or tissue.

Device description

The integrated touchscreen and clear buttons make this robust device easy to use. The software has many pre-installed tests, e.g. the standard 100 mm tensile test for 15 mm strips or the wet tensile test with 50 mm sample strips for tissue. A load cell of the customer’s choice is included in the delivery. The pneumatically driven clamps have automatic sample recognition or can be started manually via a start button directly on the clamp holder. This is particularly useful for tests with transparent samples. The maximum distance between the clamps is 300 mm. It has an RS 232 interface and a USB port for maintenance as well as a printer connection. The device is supplied with various sample carriers, e.g. a water bath for wet tests or a carrier for tensile tests (180 mm/100 mm). The test speed is adjustable from 0.2 to 330 mm/min.

Features

  • User-friendly operation via touchscreen
  • Automatic sample detection and return to starting position
  • Several safety devices (limit switch, light barrier, emergency switch)
  • Wet or standard tensile tests
  • Software can be set to different languages

Applicable standards

ISO 1924-2; UNE-EN ISO 12625-4 / 5; TAPPI T456, T494; PAPTAC D34; BS4415 / 2; etc.
