Tensile Tester - Paper

The Tensile Tester automatically measures MD and CD tensile of paper. The PROFILE/Plus Tensile is the first fully automated stand-alone tensile tester and is set to revolutionize the way tensile test are performed. This tensile instrument which revolutionizes the way tensile tests are performed. Gone are the days when operators need to spend long hours cutting and preparing samples for tensile testing. This automation provides improved ergonomics by eliminating repetitive testing movements. 

  • All operations performed automatically: Cutting, Clamping, Testing and Reporting
  • No more sample preparation
  • No more operator induced errors
  • No more lack of relevant data
  • No more costly retests
  • Improved operator ergonomics
  • PROFILE/Plus Automated Testing System Ready

Features of Tensile Tester

  • Precisely Engineered Punch and Die Assembly ensures constant sample size, increased precision, repeatability, and reproducibility.
  • High Precision Sample Clamping eliminates sample slippage to provide accurate and reliable data.
  • Completely Automatic means that measurements of MD and CD tensile strength, elongation, and TEA are all performed by the instrument itself.
  • Automatic Tensile Strength Profile eliminates operator errors in sample preparation and testing thereby allowing more tests to be performed in less time.
  • User Defined Measurement Parameters means that grade specific reporting units can be selected. 

Benefits of Tensile Tester - Paper

A complete tensile strength profile provides key information about the operation of the paper machine, thus allowing better, more stable production. A 20 foot (7 meter) papermachine CD sample tested for MD/CD tensile every 15 inches generates 16 MD and 16 CD data points in less than 6 minutes, while taking less than 1 minute of the operator’s time.

Accurate and reliable measurement results mean being able to tighten tensile strength specifications in order to optimize the production and save money. PROFILE/Plus Tensile allows the machine operators to more reliably monitor the sheet strength, thus reducing costly retests.

Tensile Tester customers have reported that savings can be realized in the areas of furnish, chemical addition, customer complaints, and reduced paper machine breaks. Manpower efficiency can also be improved by increasing the testing frequency and accuracy, which lowers the overall cost of testing.

Test results from Tensile Tester - Paper

The tester completes tests in seconds providing machine ansd cross machine results. The results include Tensile Strength, Elongation (stretch), Tensile STrength Index. It includes multiple measurement, averaging, statistics and trending. It also includes average, maximum test value, minimum test value and standard deviation. The tester provides tabular and graphical display of results.
