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:
