Bursting Strength Tester TF142A/B

Application

Fabrics that must bear weight or withstand forces should be tested with a bursting strength tester, before they be made into final products like truck covers, tarps, trampoline fabric, pool covers, compactor curtains, agricultural bagging applications, etc, to ensure the bursting strength meet the required requirement.

Digital bursting strength apparatus provides a digital readout of pressure with peak hold facility, renewable rubber diaphragms. An automatic clamping device with a clear acrylic bell, an LED lamp is equipped for easy observation.

Interchangeable test bells and clamping ring sets 7.3c㎡ (Φ30.5mm/l.22inch), 10c㎡ (Φ35.7mm), 50c㎡ (Φ79.8mm), 100c㎡ (Φ112.8mm).

Bursting strength testing machine is provided with three test methods, Constant speed bursting, Certain pressure bursting and Certain extension.

This bursting tester is also called mullen bursting tester because its testing procedure is commonly called Mullen Burst Test, during which the specimen is clamped across a dia. 1.22-inch ring and a rubber diaphragm below is inflated to push against the specimen until it ruptures.

Mullen bursting tester can allow you to measure the strength and elasticity of the board by testing faults in real life, such as puncture and rupture.

Unlike the mullen test, there is another kind of the burst test called ball burst test. If that is what you need, please refer to this tester.
