Gurley stiffness tester (automatic type)

This machine automatically measures the stiffness of paper, film, nonwoven textile, etc. By changing the specimen size and selecting a weight on the pendulum, it enables measurements of a wide range of stiffness. One end of the specimen is held on the movable clamp. The other end is set at a position so that it overlaps the top of the pendulum by 6.4mm. Then the arm with the specimen is slowly moved to deflect the specimen as the load increases, thereby tilting the pendulum. At last, specimen detaches from the pendulum. The maximum rotation angle at that detaching moment is captured by a sensor, to calculate and display stiffness.

– Measurement range: 1.39 to 450000mg
– Specimen length: 1”,1 1/2”, 2 1/2”, 3 1/2”, 4 1/2”
– Specimen width: 1/2”, 1”, 2”
– Pendulum mass: weight and position (1” , 2” or 4” ) of the mass set on the pendulum are selected, depending upon the f lexural strength of the specimen.
– Direction of specimen: Three directions can be set: MD, CD and non-directional (for recording)
– Weights: 5, 25, 50, 200g
– Bending speed: rotation speed of the movable arm: 2rpm
– Display of the results: left and right bending, average
