Benefits
- Accurately measures the compressive strength of medium paper samples via the S-TEST method.
- More reliable, consistent, and time-efficient test method compared to the CMT measurement.
- With the exception of cutting the specimen, there is no other sample preparation.
- Measuring range between 0 and 300 N.
- Touch screen control and reading results (RS-232 interface).
- Compatible with the T-LAB system.
S-Test Description
The test should be conducted right after sample preparation or after 30 minutes for the CMT30 value. The measuring procedure is very simple — you need to a cut a paper sample with 15mm width and place it into the clamping jaws. Now press the start button, and the clamps will close and start moving in compression till the sample fails. The force upon failure of the test sample is measured and shown in kN/m or Lb/in.
- Reading on digital display: Resolution of 0.02 N.
- Selectable units: lbs./in or kN/m.
- Span between jaws: 4 ± 0.05mm (offset 1mm).
- Jaw length: 30 ± 0.5mm.
- Height of the jaws: 25 ± 0.5mm.
- Length of samples: from 100 to 150mm.
- Width of samples: 15 ± 0.1mm.
- Test speed: 3 ± 1mm / min.
- Grips clamping force: 2300 ± 500 N
- Power supply: 110V/60Hz or 220V/50Hz single-phase
