Taber Type Stiffness Tester for Paper and Board

Bending moment stiffness tester that applies a deflection of 15 deg to a paper or board strip and reads resistance in Taber units. Used for board, card and heavy paper evaluation.

Specification

A specimen is held at one end while a pendulum applies force at a 50 mm span to deflect it 15 deg. The moment needed shows stiffness, important for rigid packaging and card stock. A motorised drive and digital display improve repeatability.

Features

• Motorised deflection to 15 deg
• Digital readout of bending moment in mN-m
• Specimen width 38 mm
• Range 0 to 10 Taber units with weights
• Specimen clamp with zeroing
