Stiffness testing device 79-05

automaticmaterials

The Stiffness Tester utilizes a two directional pendulum-type weighing system to evaluate material stiffness, flexural strength, resiliency and elasticity properties. Force is applied to the lower end of the specimen by a pair of rollers attached to the driving disc. The resulting torque tilts the pendulum from its vertical position and a Taber Stiffness Unit reading (g•cm) is taken automatically when the pendulum mark aligns with the appropriate driving disc mark (71/2° or 15°). Predetermined sample length, deflection angle and rate of loading provide accurate and reproducible test results. APPLICATIONS Paper, Cardboard, Plastic, Metals, Fabric, Felt, Leather, Rubber, Wire, Tubing and other Sheet Materials MODELS AVAILABLE Taber Stiffness testers are available in two models. Both units offer bi-directional pendulum type testing in a range from 0-10,000 Taber Stiffness Units.
