Manual Ply Bond Tester

The Internal Ply Bond Tester is a precision instrument used to determine the internal bond strength of paper, board, and laminates. This tester evaluates the strength in the Z-direction tensile strength, which is critical for assessing delamination resistance and the bond integrity of the layers. The equipment features a dual-capacity pendulum and provides direct readings on a calibrated scale for efficient and reliable results.

Applications:

• Measurement of internal bond strength in paper, board, and laminates.
• Evaluating glue bonding at carton side seams.
• Assessing delamination resistance in coated boards and materials with high-tack coatings.

Salient Features:

• Dual-Capacity Pendulum: Designed for versatile testing with a wide range of bond strengths.
• Direct Readings: Readings are displayed directly on a calibrated scale for ease of use.
• Precision Clamping: Clamping pressure adjustable between 50–200 PSI, with spacer rings provided for accurate pressing.
• Robust Construction: Heavy-duty design with a built-in leveling device ensures consistent and reliable performance.

Technical Specifications:

• Measuring Range:
  • 0.0–250 ft-lb.
  • 100–500 ft-lb (in thousands).
• Clamping Pressure: Adjustable from 50–200 PSI using supplied spacer rings.
• Scale Accuracy: Calibrated to provide precise measurements.
