No laboratory is well-equipped without a paper tensile tester in the paper and tissue industry. It is a mandatory tool to check the paper’s quality alongside its several physical properties. The tensile tester effectively evaluates the breaking length and elongation of various paper types like newsprint paper, stationery paper and tissue paper. But for the results to be reliable, ensure the sample preparation is correct and the tool you are working with is the latest and most efficient technology.
The paper manufacturing industry relies on testing and results. It is a matter of quality and maintaining the compliance standards by ISO, TAPPI and ASTM. To flourish and sell in the industry, one needs to abide by the compliance standards by checking paper quality against various physical and chemical tests. One can't stress the importance of paper testing for its tensile strength.
Working Of Paper Tensile Tester
The tensile strength is the most crucial property of various paper types. It justifies the strength and durability of the paper that will further go into the bulk purchase. A tensile tester is used to judge a specimen based on its mechanical property - breakage and elongation percentage. In the process, the sample is prepared as per the standard dimensions, and then it is affixed to the machine. The specimen under question goes through an external pulling force generated by the machine until failure. There are different tests (each to ensure a distinct quality of the paper) through the tensile strength tester.
Tensile Test Types Conducted By The Experts
Bond Strength Test
With the bond strength test, it is easier than ever to measure the bond of the specimen under question. It is the bond of the surface coating of the material. The test is highly valuable for testing adhesive tapes, soft materials, stationery paper, and paper seals in the packaging industry. UEC Breaking length testing machine or electronic tensile tester does the task for you.
Please Note: Tensile Tester is not bound to a particular industry. It is equivalently valuable in the paper, soft material, and packaging industry to analyse the paper's mechanical strength.
Peel Test
As the name suggests, the peel test is to accurately evaluate the bonded material's adhesive strength. To answer the question, how strongly two materials are bonded together. The peel test also helps determine the strength of the material against breakage bonded via an applied adhesive.
Tear Resistance Test
A tear resistance test is applied to test the ability of the paper or soft material to resist the already done damage. During the test, the external force is applied to the tear already there until the specimen reaches complete failure. After the test, you have the measure of tear resistance or the ability of the sample to resist the partial tear. The test is extremely valuable in the packaging industry, where the package is prone to friction, causing tears and holes.
UEC Tensile Tester
Avail of the premium quality UEC electronic tensile tester (single column) or UEC touch screen paper tensile tester (horizontal) to accurately measure the tensile strength of paper and soft material. Pacing with the international standards of paper testing machines, UEC manufactures tools that will help you win with quality paper and paper products in the industry.
