Solve Your Paper Product Errors Using Paper Tensile Tester

What is material if not strong and durable enough for the intended purpose. Truly said, a product is nothing if it is not able to fulfill the objective it is created for. Similar is the case with paper. Paper is used in numerous applications all around the world. There has not been a single day when the paper has not been used in any industry. And with each rising day, the use of paper is increasing. This increase has grown the demand for high-quality paper among the customers. 

When it comes to testing the quality of paper, the tensile test is counted among the most significant tests. To evaluate the tensile strength of paper products and materials manufacturers and laboratories use UECIN’s paper tensile tester. 

A tensile tester is an instrument that is used to quickly and effectively determine the following properties:

• Tensile strength
• Elongation or stretch
• Percentage of elongation
• Breaking length

These properties can be of paper, paperboard, tissue paper, or similar materials. Let us know about two significant tensile strength testers by UECIN.

Two Significant Tensile Strength Testers by UECIN

1. Vertical Tensile Strength Tester

• The vertical tensile strength by UECIN is a physical property testing equipment. It tests the tensile strength, breaking length, and stretch of the paper, tissue paper, and paperboard. 
• It comes with a microprocessor-based and HMI-controlled unit.
• Equipped with sample clamping jaws (upper jaw and lower jaw) of 15 mm. The sample to be tested is placed between both the jaws. 
• Has a touch screen to input operations and commands.
• Extra accessories with this tissue paper testing machine include a sample preparation cutter, sample clamping jaws of different sizes, a thermal printer, windows-based software to connect the main unit with the printer, and a finch instrument to conduct the wet tensile test.
• The applicable standards of this instrument include SCAN P 38, SCAN P 67, TAPPI T494, TAPPI  T541, CPPA D.34, ISO 1924/2, BS 4415, DIN 53112, APPITA / AS 1301.448, JIS P 8115, and FINAT.
• Papers like newsprint, writing/printing paper, and tissue paper or soft material paper can be tested using this tensile strength tester. 

2. Horizontal Tensile Strength Tester

• The horizontal tensile strength tester, also called the paper tensile tester, is another instrument to rapidly and effectively test the tensile strength of papers.
• It comes with automatic sensing and clamping clamps, which have a high friction ability and prevents the samples from getting slipped during tests.
• The touch screen functionality via a graphical LCD lets the user set the parameters as per the standards. 
• It is equipped with a standard load cell and test clamps of 15 mm width. 
• As soon as the test sample is placed and the test mode is started, the test process begins automatically. Both, the test values and the graph are shown on the touch screen panel. 
• The extra accessories as well as applicable standards are the same as the vertical tensile strength tester.

Conclusion

Evaluation of the tensile strength of paper and similar materials is crucial for the manufacturers and laboratories. Invest in the respective machines offered by UECIN. Find out more about them on our official website.
