What Is The Tensile Strength of Paper and How to Measure?

When it comes to the tensile strength of a paper, the meaning of this phrase is the maximum amount of strength required to break a small strip of paper. This is known as the tensile strength of the paper. It is defined by a tensile strength testing machine. The main objective of this machine is to provide exact stress calculations for a particular paper. Let us find out the process of measuring the tensile strength of a paper.

How to Measure?

1. Sample Preparation- The first step is to prepare the sample for the test. The sample can be wet or dry paper and also can be paperboard (wet or dry). Determining the tensile strength of the paper that is almost ready or in the maintenance phase is essential. This is because to determine the quality of the so work can be done on quality (if needed).
2. FIxing in Jaw- Step 2 of this process is to fix the sample in the jaw so that the machine can find out the strength. The jaw of a tensile strength testing machine can generally be 15 mm in size. So paper or paperboard can be fit easily.
3. Take reading- Sometimes even the same batch of a paper sample can have different strengths. So, to differentiate between them need is to test at least two samples and take reading so that outcome can be accurate. 
4. Result- The outcome depends on the resigns that have been extrcated from the machine. The main factor of accurate results is the unaffected and untouched tests.

SummaryIn summary this blog, it is clear that the tensile strength of a paper can be determined easily with the help of an efficient machine. UEC offers a range of physical property testing equipment, and also a Disc refiner. To know more visit www.uecin.com
