Horizontal Tensile Tester
Model 84-56
Introducing a new horizontal tensile tester from Testing Machines, Inc.,
a leader in innovative testing instrumentation for all industries.
The NEW model 84-56 Horizontal Tensile Tester combines a modern contemporary look with a robust mechanical
design and new improved electronics including a color touch screen and user-friendly interface. The menus are
interactive and the large buttons are designed for easy access.
The main results, i.e. force, strain, strength, T.E.A and tensile stiffness including the rolling average of force and
strain, are presented on the color touch screen after each test.
The new clamp design allows handling of test pieces up to 3 inches (75mm) wide, suitable for measuring paper tissue.
To ensure that the test piece is perfectly aligned, different guides are available, which can be replaced by the operator if
another test width is required.
As an option, the instrument can be adapted for testing wet strength of paper tissue according to ISO 12625-5.
There is a water container available that can be placed between the clamps. If the wet test option is selected in
the menu, the software will allow the operator to select the soaking time in seconds. A sensor detects if the water
container has been placed in position and the wet tensile test sequence automatically will be performed.
