STRENGTH MONITOR (SM-01)

DESCRIPTION

Strength of paper is an important property as it characterizes the stress withstanding capacity of paper.

The strength properties of paper can be varied over broad ranges by changing machine and process variables during production

It is possible to predict strength properties of paper by measuring elastic properties.

With this in view a PC /microprocessor based instrumentation for the measurement of elastic constant of paper was designed and developed.

From the elastic constant value, the instrument is calibrated to give tensile strength and breaking length of paper.


Application and end user:

Strength monitor can be used to measure the strength of paper, to ensure uniform quality of paper produced in the paper Industry.Useful in high speed printing operations.

Main advantages

Non-Destructive
Rapid way of testing
Strength values of paper can be used to monitor machine and process variables.
Reduction in paper breaks thereby increase in production rate of paper.

Special features

Enables measuring Anisotropy values and strength properties in a contour of paper.
Enables measuring breaking strength and tensile strength of paper
