Internal Bond Tester and Prep Station 80-20

Internal Bond Tester. An automatic sample preparation station (Model 80-30) is available which allows five specimens to be accurately pressed and cut simultaneously. The prep station includes a safety enclosure over the cutting blades, eliminating the use of box cutting knives to separate the individual test specimens.

Description

The Internal Bond Tester is designed to determine the internal bond strength of a variety of Paper and Board materials according to TAPPI T 569 and ISO 16260. The Internal Bond Tester design is based on a falling pendulum which creates a high speed impact on a paper specimen. The paper specimen is sandwiched between two double-coated tape substrates. The pendulum impact measures the total energy required to delaminate the internal fibers of a specimen in a Z type direction into two plies.

Sample Prep Station

A precision sample Preparation station with digital display and direct read out in kPa and psi units is available to prepare up to 5 test pieces at the same time. The Sample Prep Station is supplied to provide a consistent adhesive transfer when pressing the test specimen between the double-sided tape and aluminum platens.

Included with the Sample Prep Station are 5 aluminum platens with a sample size of 25.4 x 25.4 mm (1.0 x 1.0 inches). The clamping pressure is adjustable from 345 kPa (50 psi) to 1379 kPa (200 psi). During the pressing operation a selectable dwell time can be set by the operator from 0-4 seconds. The factory setting is 3 seconds in accordance with TAPPI T 569. The system is designed with a reinforced anvil to prevent deflection during sample preparation.
