What Makes UEC Tearing Strength Testing Machine A Valuable Investment

The tearing strength refers to the ability of multiple layers of paper to withstand the perpendicular force put on their surface, before finally tearing down. The tearing resistance strength of the paper depends on several factors such as,

• The level of fiber refinement
• Internal bonding of the fiber
• Length of the fiber, and
• The quantity and quality of fillers being used.

UEC’s tear resistance testing machine is among the most preferred instrument by manufacturers that helps them find the tear resistance of newsprint, writing paper, copier paper, boards, plastic films, and other materials alike. Due to its accuracy in results and high performance, this tester finds the most attention. 

About tear resistance tester

The tear resistance tester works on the principle of internal tearing resistance. It has a strong and corrosion-resistant structure on which tests can be performed for a longer period without any hassle. The tester is also applicable under standards SCAN P 11, TAPPI T414, CPPA D.9, ISO 1974, BS 4468, DIN 53128, and APPITA/AS 1301.400.

During the test, the force required to tear the sheet sample is measured. The main unit consists of a single freely swinging pendulum. This pendulum freely swings on its horizontal axis with a calibrated scale fixed on top of it. This scale reads the mean tearing force required to tear the sheet sample. 

In order to perform the experiment well, manufacturers can also opt for an extra tearing sample cutter, a pair of calibration check weights, and interchangeable pendulums of different weights. To know more about these instruments, visit the UEC website.
