Serving the testing industry for over acentury, Thwing-Albert is committed toproviding the best possible solution forany application.
The MTA-2000 offers a streamlineddesign with advanced electronics and apneumatic clamping system to measurebursting strength. Two different modelsprovide rapid testing for paper, board,corrugated board and textiles.
Utilizing an ergonomic design, theMTA-2000 is user-friendly and can beoperated easily through the internalsoftware, display and keyboard.
The testing principle is the same regardless of the model. A test sample is clamped between two circular plates with a pneumatic system. Fluid displaced from a chamber by a piston moving at a constant rate forces a heavy rubber diaphragm to expand through the lower plate opening and exert a constantly increasing pressure against the unsupported area of the sample. When the sample bursts the pressure drops, and the force required to burst the sample is displayed.
The exclusive testing software provides control over the test, calculation of statistics, and selectable units (kPa, kgf/cm2 or psi). A parallel port interfaces to a local printer and a RS-232 serial port enables you to send test data to a computer for analysis and storage.
