Horizontal tensile Testing Machine

 L&W Tensile Tester is the fourth generation of L&W product’s horizontal tensile tester since 1975. Horizontal measurements have proven to be a more reliable and easier method to determine the strength properties of paper than vertical measurements. In a single measurement four basic properties are calculated: tensile strength, stretch at break, TEA and tensile stiffness. In addition, eight other industry standard properties can be calculated and reported based on these four basic characteristics. Ergonomic design and intuitive user interface L&W Tensile Tester is designed with attention to ergonomics and efficiency. The table area has been enlarged to make it easier to manage test-pieces, the start button is placed near to the test-piece input and the easy-to-use color touchscreen has intuitive menus and large, easily accessible buttons. Predefined measurement programs can be adapted as required, and the capacitive color touchscreen has a protective surface for easy cleaning and durability with fast response and high resolution. Superior clamp design To ensure that the test-piece is aligned, there are guides on each clamp that rectify the test piece. And with a simple switch, the operator can change L&W Tensile Tester measures all important tensile properties. It is sensitive enough to precisely measure on tissue and strong enough to measure on packaging board. The instrument is available with options for wet tensile testing as well as fracture toughness evaluation. the test width to be used. Further, the L&W Tensile Tester has a proven clamp design, with a cylindrical clamp holding the test-piece in place on a flat sur face. The clamps are also totally backlash-free. This design is recommended by both the ISO and TAPPI standards. Plus, for converted products, spans as short as 50 mm can be used for testing between per foration lines. Measurement procedure The test-piece is inserted and positioned correctly with the help of the guides on the clamps. Either the operator presses the easily accessible start button or the measurement starts automatically when the sensors are activated. The clamps close and the test piece is stretched until it breaks. The clamp then re turns to the start position. L&W Tensile Tester measures according to all established standards. Measurement results The measurement results are presented as SI or foot-pound units, on the color touchscreen, either tabular or graphic. The result can also be printed on the optional built-in printer, on a network printer or exported via Ethernet. This unit has 5000. N load cell installed. It can also be set up for wet testing.
