In the past, film extruders, paper producers, converters, and woven/non-woven fabric producers have had the choice of test stands and universal test machines which are either value-priced peak-force-only machines, or expensive computer-operated integral-load cell machines. Now you can have the best of both worlds in a single instrument. The series MT-1500, a simple to use computer operated tester, with Quality Control software for automatic calculation and graphical display of break, elongation, yield, modulus, and other, tension and compression force information.
The Series 1500 Precision Force Test Stand is a proven tool for more closely controlling nominal and peak strength and elongation characteristics to speed your:
Meets ASTM D882 Standard Test Method for Tensile Testing of Plastic Film and ASTM D3354 for Blocking Testing of Plastic Film and Sheet.
Operate as a stand-alone, manual system or operate in Digital/Software mode using MT-1500 Force Test Software to automatically calculate force values.
Portable and expandable with optional software, printers and computer system. A computer is required for operation in the Digital/Software mode. Advanced software for display/hard-copy reporting of statistical and graphical analysis of data including yield, elongation, break strength, modulus, and friction values.
Best of all, the MT-1500 Series is economically priced.
Test Stand can be set up with Force Gauge mounted on the front of the column for easy access for strip testing, or with Force Gauge mounted to the right of the column for access to the large working table area for testing.
