Thwing-Albert has several puncture testing equipment options, including:
The VantageNX Tensile Testing Machine is a universal testing machine (UTM) that can perform many types of material testing, including puncture tests on textiles, flexible packaging, paper, tissue paper, food packaging, plastic film and paperboard. Its various grips and fixtures enable this single machine to perform numerous types of testing. Choose from capacities of 1 kN, 2 kN or 5 kN depending on the model. Interchangeable load cells range from 5 N to 5 kN.
Our Vantage Tissue Burst Tester is a specialized configuration of the VantageNX UTM. This setup conducts wet and dry burst testing for tissue and toweling samples. During the testing process, the material is held in a pneumatic clamp for simple, secure operation. This system can meet common puncture standards including TAPPI T570, ASTM D6548 and ISO 12625-9, ISO 12625-11 and other standards.
Thwing-Albert has these fixtures for the VantageNX UTM:
The Rycolab Puncture Tester (RL-PT-A) measures the amount of energy required to puncture cardboard and corrugated board material samples. A puncture head on a 90-degree circular arc is fixed on a pendulum. The energy needed to puncture, tear and open the sample completely is measured. Choose four work ranges from 6 to 48 Joules. Its applicable standards include ISO 3036, TAPPI T803 and ASTM D781.
