Polytech Instruments offers Stiffness Tester - Model 150-E. Polytech Instruments is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company. This Stiffness Tester - Model 150-E is used to evaluate material stiffness and resiliency. This instrument provides accurate test measurement to ±1.0% for specimens 0.004" to 0.219" thickness. Materials include paper products, cardboard, plastics, metals, textiles, rubber, wire, tubing, felts and other sheet materials. The Taber Stiffness Tester utilizes a two directional pendulum-type weighing system to evaluate material stiffness, flexural strength, and resiliency and elasticity properties. Force is applied to the lower end of the specimen by a pair of rollers attached to the driving disc. A high resolution optical encoder and a non-contacting photo sensor are incorporated to make this instrument fully automatic.
