| Series MT-500 - Full-Featured Force Test Stands for Film and Paper |
| Meets specifications of ASTM D882 Standard Test Method for Tensile Testing of Plastic Film and ASTM D3354 for Blocking Testing of Plastic Film and Sheet |
In the past, film and paper producers and converters have had the choice of test stands and universal test machines which are either value-priced peak-force-only machines, or expensive computer-operated integral-load cell machines.
Now you can have the best of both worlds in a single instrument. The Series MT-500 is a simple to use, stand-alone console operated tester, with optional Quality Control software for automatic calculation and graphical display of break, yield, modulus and other, tension and compression force information.
Improved Film & Paper Quality, Increased Profit Margins
The Series 500 Force Test Stand is a proven tool for more closely controlling nominal peak strength and elongation characteristics to speed your:

The MT-522 shown with Force Gauge mounted to right of column for working table testing. |
| |
- Research and development of new film and paper products
- Inspection of incoming film and paper products
- In-process checks to ensure on-spec product for converting operations
- Quality-control reporting
|
| |
Advanced Technical Features in Each Model
Easy, Error-Free Operation
Two modes of operation: Operate as a stand-alone, manual system or Operate in Digital/Software mode using the Force Test Software to automatically calculate force values. |
| |
|
Expandable; Industry-Leading Software
Portable and expandable with optional software, printers and computer system. A computer is required for operation in the Digital/Software mode. Advanced software for display/hard-copy reporting of statistical and graphical analysis of data including yield, break strength, modulus and friction values.
Affordable
Best of all, the series 500 is economically priced.
Unique, Modular Design
Test Stand can be set up with Force Gauge mounted on the front of the column for easy access for strip testing, or with Force Gauge mounted to the right of the column for access to the large working table area for testing. |
