Measuring the force to bend a test piece to a predetermined angle.
Bending resistance and stiffness is used in many converting companies and is important in handling packaging products
Additional information
Description
a user-friendly microprocessor controlled instrument to determine the bending resistance of paper, Paper, plastic film, medical tubing, and wire. Bending stiffness is a characteristic associated with the rigidity of a material. This property is related to the modulus of elasticity of the material’s stiffness. Our Bending Tester was originally developed to produce a more concise, consistent measurement for the paper industry. This property is now used in a variety of industries including personal products, paper, flexible films, packaging and non-wovens.
