Descripción
The TA16 Perpendicular Tensile Strength Test Fixture is designed for measuring tensile and adhesion strength normal to the specimen face according to standards like ASTM C297, ASTM D1623B, ASTM D1037, DIN 52365, EN 319, EN 1607, EN 12004.
Testing materials including sandwich and honeycomb panels & cores, rigid and semi-rigid insulation, corrugated fiberboard, foam packaging, and lightweight laminated boards.

- Scope of supply: 1 pair of carriers – Inserts have to be ordered separately
In a flatwise test, tensile force is applied through the thickness of a flat specimen to evaluate internal cohesion or bond strength. Depending on the material, this test is also known as perpendicular tensile, Z-direction tensile, or internal bond testing.
