Thwing-Albert's Vantage Tensile Tester is very comparable to the Instron 5840 series Tensile Tester
The Vantage Tensile Tester offers many fixtures for tensile testing and other tests for the plastic film, flexible packaging, paper, paperboard, tissue paper, textiles and food testing industries.
With a footprint of 10 in (250 mm) x 16.5 in (419 mm), the EJA Vantage-1 tensile tester provides a force capacity of 1 kN (225 lbs) in a minimal amount of bench space.
Thwing-Albert's Handle-O-Meter measures the combined effects of flexibility and surface friction of sheeted materials, a test method that has proven to correlate well with the actual performance of the material in production processes.
There is a 100 gram beam and a 1000 gram beam available to meet your needs.
