BGT-01 Internal Bond Tester

Introduction Internal Bond Tester

The BGT-01 Internal Bond Tester is an advanced instrument designed to measure the energy required to rapidly delaminate a paper or board sample in the Z-direction. This test simulates the rapid impacts and shock loads that paper and board products may undergo during processes such as printing or conversion. The Internal Bond Tester uses a pendulum with a defined mass and velocity to initiate rupture, making it an ideal tool for assessing the material’s resistance to internal stresses.

The BGT-01 is perfect for testing a variety of paper and board materials, including single- and multi-layer paper, coated sheets, and boards laminated with synthetic polymer films. It is particularly suitable for materials subjected to Z-direction rapid impacts, such as packaging, printing, and other industrial applications where durability is critical.

Test Methods: ISO 16260 and Standards

ISO 16260: The International Standard for Internal Bond Testing

ISO 16260 specifies the test method for measuring the internal bond strength of paper and paperboard materials. This standard defines a procedure for conducting tests where a pendulum impact is used to delaminate the sample, evaluating the material’s strength under rapid, localized stress. By simulating real-world conditions in which paper and board are subjected to shock loads, ISO 16260 helps ensure that materials are durable and reliable.

• Test Process: The internal bond strength is measured by releasing a pendulum with a fixed mass, which impacts the sample at a specified velocity, initiating delamination in the Z-direction.
• Relevance: This standard is crucial in ensuring that paper and board materials are capable of withstanding impacts encountered during production, packaging, and transportation. Compliance with ISO 16260 is essential for manufacturers in the paper, packaging, and related industries to ensure product performance and quality.

Additional Relevant Standards

• TAPPI T569: A standard developed by the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry that focuses on the delamination of paperboard materials when subjected to controlled pendulum impact forces.
• GB/T 26203: A Chinese standard that defines the internal bond test for paper and board materials, aligning with international testing protocols.
• QB/T 5558: A Chinese standard that governs internal bond strength testing for paper and cardboard materials, ensuring they meet required performance characteristics for packaging.
