84-76 Tensile Tester

INTRODUCTION

We are proud to introduce our NEW model 84-76 Tensile Tester. The instrument has a small footprint just over 0.20 square meters (2.3 square feet). Our model 84-76 provides a large 5.7 inch color display, intuitive operator interface, software control, integrated printer & serial port for data collection.

The new unit is designed to test strength of sheet materials including Paper, Board, Tissue Paper, Film Packaging Seals, Adhesives, Pressure Sensitive Tapes and a variety of low force tensile applications up to 1330 N (136 Kg, 300 lbs).

The Model 84-76 Tensile Tester is a robust, precision, tensile strength instrument suitable for rugged production environments yet designed to provide highly accurate measurements for research applications.

Simple Automated Testeing

When used in production, the Model 84-76 Tensile Tester automatically displays Peak Force and Peak % Elongation after each measurement. Additional results displayed are Tensile Strength, TEA, Tensile Index and Breaking Length.

APPLICATIONS

Paper, Board, Tissue Paper, Adhesives, Peel Testing, Seal Strength, 180° Peel Strength, Bond Strength

STANDARDS

ISO 12625- 4 Tissue Paper and Tissue Products-Part 4: Determination of tensile strength, stretch at break and tensile energy absorption
TAPPI T- 494 Tensile properties of paper and paperboard (using constant rate of elongation apparatus)
ISO 1924 Paper and board - Determination of tensile properties - Part 3: Constant rate of elongation method (100 mm/min)
CPPA D34 Tensile Breaking Properties of Paper and Paper Board
ASTM F88 Standard Test Method for Seal Strength of Flexible Barrier Materials

SOFTWARE

Model 84-76 incorporates a new microcontroller design with a stepper motor which provides precision position control for repeatable instrument performance. An intuitive control panel and large 5.7 inch color display provides easy operation of the testing.

Intuitive Software design makes test screen set up and navigation quick and accurate. Software also allows the operator to develop, store and recall commonly used test methods for easy access thus reducing operator error. Test Method storage also insures correct settings of critical parameters resulting in repeatable result data.

A common electronic platform incorporates reusable software components which are shared with a family of instruments offered by the TMI Group. Competitively priced instruments are the result as software development costs are reduced and long term component supply is ensured.
