Key Features and Functions of the TST-H Horizontal Tensile Tester

1. Tensile Strength Measurement: This is the maximum tensile force per unit width that a sample can withstand before breaking, a crucial factor in evaluating material resilience and durability.

2. Tensile Index Calculation: Defined as the tensile strength divided by grammage, this metric provides a standardized measurement essential for comparing materials of varying thicknesses and weights.

3. Stretch at Maximum Force: This measures the percentage elongation of a test piece at the point of maximum tensile force, indicating flexibility and elongation properties important for various applications.

4. Tensile Energy Absorption (TEA): The energy absorbed per unit surface area while stretching until breaking, TEA is critical for understanding the material’s resistance to tensile stress.

5. Tensile Stiffness: This ratio of tensile force to tensile strain helps in assessing material stiffness within its elastic region, providing insights into the material's load-bearing capacity.

6. Breaking Length: Calculated as the limiting length at which the material would break under its own weight, this metric is valuable for quality control in lightweight materials.

Advanced Testing with Constant-Rate-of-Elongation (CRE)

The TST-H Horizontal Tensile Tester employs a constant-rate-of-elongation (CRE) system to test tensile properties accurately. During testing, the equipment stretches the sample to its breaking point at a constant rate, capturing comprehensive data on force and elongation. The data recorded allows precise calculations of tensile strength, elongation, and energy absorption, ensuring reliable and repeatable results that support quality control and research in laboratories and industry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the Horizontal Tensile Tester

Q1: What is tensile strength in the context of the Horizontal Tensile Tester?
A1: Tensile strength is the maximum tensile force per unit width that a material can endure before breaking, an essential measurement for assessing material durability.

Q2: What is tensile energy absorption (TEA) and why is it significant?
A2: TEA is the energy absorbed per unit area during a tensile test until the breaking point. This measure helps to evaluate the material's resistance under stress, critical for quality control in flexible materials.

Q3: How does the Horizontal Tensile Tester measure stretch at maximum force?
A3: This tester records the elongation percentage at the moment the sample reaches maximum tensile force. This value is useful in assessing the flexibility of materials, especially for applications that require elasticity.

Q4: What is tensile stiffness and its importance in testing?
A4: Tensile stiffness is the force-to-strain ratio in the material’s elastic region, indicating how resistant the material is to deformation. This is particularly valuable for rigid or semi-rigid materials where maintaining form is important.

Q5: Why is breaking length relevant in tensile testing?
A5: Breaking length is the calculated length at which the material would fail under its own weight. This parameter helps in understanding the resilience of lightweight materials, such as tissue paper or thin paper products.
