Item # Tissue Burst Tester Vantage Tissue Burst Tester

Thwing-Albert developed the original Burst Tester over 25 years ago for several worldwide tissue paper producers. Active in the development of new test methods for standardized testing, Thwing-Albert was instrumental in developing the new Tissue Ball Burst method.

The Tissue Burst Tester is a precision, PCcontrolled instrument that measures the wet and dry burst strength properties of tissue papers and tissue products, paper towels, nonwovens and other substrates.

Dry Burst Strength is useful to determine strength required to avoid breaks or tears during manufacturing or converting.

Wet Burst Strength is a critical property as tissue and paper towel products are subject to aqueous fluid during normal use.

Utilizing Simplicity or MAP Materials Testing Software, test parameters are easily set-up. Test results can be printed and stored on a PC. Standard results provided include Burst Strength, Burst Displacement, Burst Energy, Total Burst Energy and statistics.
