MTE-1

Universal Testing Machine (1kN)

For determination of tensile strength and elongation of paper (kraft, liner, tissue and similar). The software allows obtaining the value of T.E.A., the Tensile Energy Absorption of the paper, defined as the area under the force-elongation (energy) curve.

Electromechanical one-column material testing machine designed to perform tensile, compression, bending, shearing and peeling tests on very light materials up to 1kN capacity.

Key Features
