Taber 150E stiffness tester

Application scope

The Taber stiffness meter is used to evaluate the stiffness and resilience of flexible materials, accurately measuring materials with a thickness between 0.1-5.5mm, such as paper, foil, metal foil, plastic foil, cardboard, rubber, and melamine board Vinyl、 Various sheets such as wires, pipes, textiles, felt, leather, etc. The measurement range is within 0-10000 TABER stiffness units.

*Stiffness standard

Since 1937, TABER150 has become the standard tool for stiffness testing, and many notary agencies directly cite this * * * as the standard basis for stiffness specifications.

Stiffness and rebound

One TABER stiffness unit refers to the force exerted on a test piece that is 5 centimeters long and 3.8 centimeters wide when bent to 15 degrees by 1/5 gram of gravity. One stiffness unit is also equal to 1g. cm. The rebound force represents the elastic mass of the material and is the ratio of the basic stiffness to the initial stiffness, expressed by the following calculation formula:
Resilience=Basic stiffness ÷ Initial stiffness × 100
The 'initial stiffness' is the number of readings obtained immediately when the sample is bent at a fixed angle, and is usually used to compare the relative stiffness quality.
The 'basic stiffness' refers to the stiffness lost due to the rearrangement of material molecules caused by the sample being continuously fixed at that angle.

Additional optional accessories for expansion

The accuracy and measurement range of the stiffness meter can be expanded and adjusted through various "optional accessories", making it more widely used. The standard testing range is 10-100 stiffness units
By selecting the [Precision Weight Group], the scale can be expanded to 0.1-10000 units.
