Taber stiffness tester (automatic type)

Stiffness is one of important parameters for assessing the appropriateness of material for processing and printing. There are nearly proportional relationships between stiffness and beating degree, basis weight, thickness and water content. The correlation is remarkable especially with thickness. As with the No.2048-M, one end of the specimen (paper, paperboard, plastic sheet, metal foil, etc.) is held, and around the held point, the specimen is turned slowly, thereby being given flexural loads. The loading point (rotation angle) is read by a sensor when the deflection angle is 15 degrees, to calculate and output stiffness.
- Specification

- Model
– Fully automated zero adjustment, significantly reducing the measurement time
– Pinch the specimen, and push the AUTO switch. Measurement is done separately for right and left. Right and Left results is also displayed. Very easy operation
– After measurement, the rotating disc quickly returns (four times faster) to the zero point
-Specimen: 30 to 40mm wide (typically 38mm), 70mm long, up to 3.2mm thick
– Measurement ranges: 0 to 10 (g.cm), 0 to 100 (g.cm) (standard)
0 to 500 (g.cm), 0 to 1000 (g.cm), 0 to 2000(g.cm)
– Bending speed: 180˚ + 40˚ / min
– Stiffness data: left, right, average
– Switching standards: SI unit (N) and gram unit (g) selectable
