Digital Stiffness Tester (Taber Type)
Bending resistance measurement with triple shear cutter — TI/ST/TB/15
Evaluates the stiffness and resilient bending resistance of paper, plastic, cardboard, light metallic sheets, foils and other flexible materials having comparatively strong bending resistance. One end of the test piece is easily fastened into the clamp and the maximum force required to bend the test piece to a specified angle is presented on the graduated scale. The Taber Type model features a measuring range of 0–5000 stiffness units, imported gear motor and an optional triple shear cutter for precision specimen preparation.
