The Taber Torsional Stiffness Apparatus Model 108 is used to measure the flexibility and stiffness of leather and similar materials. The Torsional Stiffness Apparatus has been employed to measure the relative stiffness of gloving leathers. Based on the design described in ASTM D2821, this instrument is useful in measuring the flexibility and stiffness of a leather or other bendable specimen.
Features
- Measure the relative stiffness of leather and other flexible materials.
- Includes Remote Finger Control Knob to assist with testing
- Meets ASTM D2821
Standards
ASTM D2821
Procedure
- A specimen is affixed to a weighted clamp secured at the bottom of a torsion wire.
- A torsion head equipped with a dial protractor is turned in a plane normal to the torsion wire until the
