Taber Fabric Stiffness Tester-Model 112

Taber Fabric Stiffness Tester-Model 112

The Taber Fabric Stiffness Tester - Model 112 provides a quick and accurate method of determining stiffness properties such as flexural rigidity of most textile fabrics according to internationally recognized test standards such as ASTM D1388. Ideal for testing textile fabrics (e.g. woven; layered; pile; knitted; napped), this instrument has been utilized to evaluate the stiffness properties of blankets, air bag fabrics, protective clothing, geotextiles, etc.

Fabrics may be untreated or treated, including those that are heavily sized, coated or resin-treated. Taber's Fabric Stiffness Tester can also be used to evaluate leather, paper, plastic films, and other flexible sheet materials.

Description

Employing the principle of cantilever bending, a rectangular specimen is supported on a smooth low-friction horizontal platform. A weighted slide is placed over the specimen and advanced at a constant rate. As the leading edge of the specimen projects from the platform, it bends under its own weight.

The bend angle indicator can be set at either 41.5° (0.724 rad) or 45° (0.785 rad) below the plane of the platform surface, and includes an easy to read bend angle reference scale with 5° graduations. Once the material flexes enough to touch the bend angle indicator, the test is stopped. Using a scale calibrated in both metric and English units, the length of the overhang is then measured and flexural rigidity and bending modulus can be calculated.

The Fabric Stiffness Tester is available with or without the Hand Crank Speed Control Option. This feature allows the operator to control the rate of speed that the specimen is advanced.

Measure the flexural rigidity and drape characteristics of flexible materials.
Stiffness Tester Model 112 employs the principle of cantilever bending of the specimen under its own mass. Ideal for testing non-wovens and most fabrics, this tester conforms to existing test standards. May also be used to evaluate films, paper, leather and other flexible materials.

Simple to use, rugged design provides repeatable test results.
The specimen is moved across a smooth low-friction platform at a constant rate. An optional hand crank provides an economical solution for controlling test speed. As the leading edge of the specimen projects from the platform, it bends under its own mass. The length of the overhang is measured when the specimen’s leading edge contacts the indicator. From this measured length, the bending length and flexural rigidity are calculated.

Rugged design includes numerous features.
An adjustable bend angle indicator can be inclined 41.5° (0.724 rad) or 45° (0.785 rad) below the plane of the platform surface, and includes a bend angle reference. The movable specimen slide includes a leveling bubble and is operated manually or by an optional precision hand crank. The overhang scale is calibrated in both metric and English units.
