FSC Freehand Strip Cutter
Twin bladed handheld strip cutter suitable for preparation of test specimens for physical testing, e.g. Heat Sealability to ASTM F2029, Hot Tack to ASTM F1921, and Seal Strength to ASTM F88, ISO EN 868-5.
Description
the freehand strip cutter was designed for preparation of parallel strip samples from thin sheet materials, e.g. flexible films, foil, paper, non-wovens and some fabrics, typically up to 1mm thickness.
FSC-1 is supplied with a fixed cutting width of 10mm, 15mm, 25mm or 25.4mm (1 inch), whereas FSC-2 is supplied with change spacers for cutting all widths in one unit.
Standards
ASTM F88, ASTM F2029, ASTM F1921, ISO EN 868-5 and many others requiring a parallel sample of specific width.
