13-56 Burst Tester
The new and improved 13-56 Burst Tester has been designed for burst and leak testing on Flexible Packaging, such as paper, foils, paper boards, corrugated board, textiles etc
Description
Digital Mullen-style burst testers allow you measure the strength and resilience of sheet materials by testing for real life failures such as punctures and rupture. The technique uses hydraulic pressurization of a membrane against a clamped, film, or sheet sample, producing a multi-directional stress on the material to failure – which is the burst strength. Depending on the type of material being tested, the burst method highlights the planar strength of the sample and is sensitive to quality of fiber bond, interlaminar, or orientational defects of your sheet product. With improved electronics and a state-of-the-art user interface, our new 13-56 burst tester is easier to use than ever before. Your sample is pneumatically clamped, and the rubber membrane is pushed upwards by digitally controlled hydraulics. The force at burst is displayed and recorded automatically and can be incorporated into on-board batch analysis if desired. All aspects of the test method are easily adjustable – allowing you to create the perfect testing conditions for each unique application.
You can use the instrument to test papers and paperboards, corrugated, polymer films and laminates, or textiles. We provide different models customised for these applications to suit a range of pressure levels that offer more accurate results. You can use the 13-56 on any suitable sheet or film product within the pressure range of the instrument. If you’re unsure whether the 13-56 can be used on your chosen application, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to offer you more information.

OX-TRAN ® 2/48
The OX-TRAN 2/48 series is the ideal solution for ambient whole package testing for OTR, testing more packages in less time than traditional methods.
The OX-TRAN® 2/48 series of Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) analyzers are designed for ambient testing of complete packages or other 3-dimensional samples. These 8 cell instruments provide high throughput to increase the testing capacity of your laboratory. The 2-bank design allows 4 samples to be conditioned at the same time as the 4 samples are being examined. This parallel operation greatly increases the efficiency of the analyzer while still providing the accurate and repeatable results you expect from MOCON. They utilize the same interchangeable package testing cartridge designs as our other package testing analyzers and fixtures. These revolutionary cartridges offer simplified sample preparation and improved repeatability of test results. There is a wide variety of cartridge designs available to accommodate different package sizes and types, many without the use of epoxy.
