PT48

Digital Puncture Tester

The PT-48 Digital Puncture Tester determines the absorbed energy or puncture resistance of corrugated and compact cardboard, covering up to 48J with 4 reading scales (6, 12, 24, 48J) on a 10″ touchscreen. Its robust steel pendulum frame minimises vibration energy loss for accurate results.
