Physical Properties & Strength TestersShort Span Compression Tester 17-36 TMI INDUSTRIAL PHYSICS

The Short Span Compression Tester 17-36 TMI INDUSTRIAL PHYSICS, measures the compression strength of paper and board. The span or gap is set to a distance between 0.3-0.7mm. When performing a compression test on such a short distance, the stability of the clamps and instrument are critical. The Short Span Compression Tester 17-36 incorporates a precision mechanical design to reduce frictional errors, providing unmatched accuracy and repeatability.

Short Span Compression Tester 17-36 is considered an important property and can be used to predict the performance of containerboard used in the manufacture of corrugated boxes. A 15 mm wide sample is placed between two air-operated clamps and compressed. The maximum compressive strength is reported in Kilonewtons per meter.

The new design is modern and compact. Beginning the test is easily done by pushing the START button on the top cover plate or using the START touch button on the touchscreen. You can reduce test result variability by using Model 22-25 precision sample cutter. Designed to prepare a 15-mm sample. Engineered to assure operator safety and to prepare high-precision test samples.
