EMCO: emco IBT Internal Bond tester

The emco IBT Internal Bond Tester realizes a dynamic measuring principle for determination of the splitting strength of paper, cardboard and compound systems. Simultaneously the significant influence of sample preparation is reduced and the climate impact is documented.

The check of tensile strength of paper as well as splitting strength of multi-ply compound is relevant for the assessment of the material behaviour in the processing or loading process only when a dynamic measurement procedure is used. By the use of a pendulum machine high shear stresses are simulated which influence individual fiber strength and interfiber bonding of paper because of high processing speed as well as structual loads. Therefore we are talkting about Internal Bond strength test according to Tappi 569 (Scott Bond test). Contrary to the analysis of the mechanical devices of Scott Bond emco IBT is digital and provides diverse settings and adjustment possibilities.
