Why Pick Tearing Resistance Tester And Taber Stiffness Tester From UEC?

Stiffness and tearing resistance are two crucial parameters for judging the quality of the paper. Where tear resistance is the capability of the paper to withstand a tearing force, stiffness is the quality of paper against flexibility to folds. Can manufacturers actually get the data for subjective qualities like stiffness and tear resistance? The answer is yes. It is with the latest and tech-driven Tearing resistance tester and a Taber stiffness tester by UEC that one can easily determine the quality of paper for tear resistance and stiffness. 

Tearing resistance tester - Testing Paper Against Tearing Force

Tearing resistance is one such physical property that determines the quality of the paper and paperboard against breaks and tears. Therefore, the tear resistance tester helps us determine whether the paper can withstand a pre-determined tearing force or not.  

It is presumed that a good quality or kraft paper has a higher resistance to tearing force than a low-quality paper. Still, deriving real data with a tear resistance tester is more beneficial than relying on your guts. 

Tear resistance relates to the degree of fibre refining and is directly concerned with the fibre bonding, fibre strength, fibre length quality and quantity of fillers. For instance, longer fibre means more tear resistance as it could distribute the stress to more fibres and bonds. Whereas, small fibres means strength concentrated in a smaller region. The direction of the fibre also plays a key role in determining the tear resistance of the paper. 

Now that we know tear resistance is an important attribute of paper quality, the Tearing resistance tester is widely used by paper, wrapping paper, cover, bond paper, envelop and print paper manufacturers. 

   

Tearing resistance tester By UEC

The equipment is manufactured by UEC in its own plants. The tester can evaluate the specimen for tear resistance up to 10,000 Taber stiffness units (g cm). You can avail of the entire apparatus with an on-demand sample cutter, a set of calibration check weights and the interchangeable pendulum of 2000 - 64,000 mN (mili Newton). 

Taber stiffness tester - Estimating Paper’s Resistance To Folds

To what extent is the paper stiff? How do we judge that and what is the significance of paper stiffness in manufacturing? 

Although paper is versatile the appearance and other physical traits of paper are different in different industries. Taber stiffness tester is the latest technology to help you derive the results on paper stiffness, which in turn decides the economic value of paper. Sometimes the stiffness of the paper is directly proportional to its thickness. For instance, copier paper is more flexible to fold than cardboard. But the same is not the case every time. Here comes to rescue the Taber stiffness tester.  

And why limited to paper? 

Taber Stiffness Tester by UEC

The stiffness tester by UEC determines the flexibility of cardboard, plastics and metallic sheets as well. To test paper stiffness one needs to deploy a test sample of pre-determined measurements, to the tester. The pre-set assembly and the constant angle of deflection ensure that the results are accurate. Complete the apparatus by availing of the on-demand Triple Shear Cutter and Calibration Standard strips.
