Horizontal Tensile Tester for Paper Strips

Constant rate of elongation horizontal tensile tester for tensile strength, stretch and TEA of paper strips. Used in paper mills and converting plants for machine and cross direction strength.

Specification

A 15 mm strip is clamped between two pneumatic jaws and pulled at constant elongation rate of 20 mm per minute while force and elongation are recorded. Tensile breaking length, stretch and energy absorption are calculated automatically. The horizontal layout reduces specimen sag and gives consistent results.

• Load cell 500 N with 0.01 N resolution
• Pneumatic jaws with rubber faces
• Elongation measured by encoder to 0.01 mm
• Constant elongation 20 mm/min
• Software calculates breaking length, TEA, tensile index
