TruBurst2 Intelligent Bursting Strength Tester
TruBurst2 is a fully
pneumatic instrument which comfortably exceeds the exacting requirements
of ISO 13938-2, ASTM D3786-06 and
the test principles of many other national and international standards.
The inherent flexibility of TruBurst2
gives it the capability to test a broad range of materials
manufactured by the textile, non-woven, paper, board and plastic industries.
Two Models to Cover the Range
With a maximum capacity of 1000kPa/145psi, Model
810 is suitable for the majority of textile specimens (including
cyclic testing of elastomerics), as well as for many paper, board
and similar materials.
However, there are many less resistant, more delicate
materials (e.g. non-wovens, tissues and plastics), which require a
lower capacity/higher resolution machine for successful and repeatable
bursting strength tests. With the ability to measure values as low
as 5kPa/0.7psi and a maximum capacity of 100kPa/14.5psi, Model
801 is ideal for these applications.
| Key Features
|
- Fast and Accurate Distension Measurement
TruBurst2 utilizes
optical laser photoelectric technology to measure specimen distension
up to 70mm and with an accuracy of 0.5%.
Non-contact measurement guarantees accurate,
reproducible and trouble-free distension measurements.
Excellent by-products of non-contact measurement
are faster testing times and a significant enhancement of diaphragm
life.
TruBurst2 offers
a choice of 5 test areas, ranging from 7.3cm2 to
100cm2, with one of them specifically intended for paper testing.
- Burst and Cyclic Testing in One
Cyclic software is included as standard, and
you can set TruBurst2 to cycle (up
to 500 times) to a pre-set pressure or distension.
For elastomeric materials, measuring or assessing
non-recoverable extension, after a series of cycles, may be
of more interest than the actual pressure to burst or the distension
at burst.
Typically, this facility might be used to predict
the resistance of materials to bagging at the elbow or at the
knee in a garment.
The instrument’s data acquisition &
analysis software enables the production of test reports, which
can be copied to any other Windows applications for further
customization.
The test reports can be printed or stored to
a local PC or even a network for rapid exchange of information
between different users.
Based on familiar Windows terminology, the
application is simple and quickly mastered by new users.
