Test Methods and Standards for Paper Horizontal Tensile Testing
ISO 1924: Key Test Standards for Paper Tensile Testing
The ISO 1924 series is the most widely accepted international standard for testing the tensile properties of paper and paperboard. The series consists of three parts that detail the methods for tensile testing under different conditions:
- ISO 1924-1: Focuses on determining tensile strength, elongation, and stretch at maximum force of paper and paperboard.
- ISO 1924-2: Specifically addresses testing the wet tensile strength of paper and paperboard under wet conditions.
- ISO 1924-3: Covers the continuous method for determining tensile properties of paper for long-term durability studies.
These standards provide clear guidelines for performing tensile tests and ensuring that paper products meet the necessary quality benchmarks. The TST-H Horizontal Tensile Tester adheres to these ISO standards, ensuring compliance and consistency across testing results.
ISO 1924-1: Determination of Tensile Properties
ISO 1924-1 outlines the test method for determining the tensile strength, stretch at maximum force, and elongation of paper. The TST-H Horizontal Tensile Tester utilizes this method by applying a constant rate of elongation to a paper sample until it breaks. The force and elongation data collected during the test are used to calculate key parameters, including:
- Tensile Strength: The maximum force the paper can withstand before breaking.
- Stretch at Maximum Force: The amount of elongation the paper undergoes at the point of maximum tensile strength.
- Tensile Energy Absorption: The energy absorbed by the paper during the test.
The data provided by the TST-H allows manufacturers to evaluate the durability and performance of paper products for various applications.
ISO 1924-2: Wet Tensile Strength Test
ISO 1924-2 focuses on measuring the wet tensile strength of paper and paperboard, which is particularly important for paper products used in wet conditions (e.g., tissue paper, packaging materials). The TST-H Horizontal Tensile Tester is equipped with an optional wet tensile strength water tank to accommodate tests according to ISO 1924-2. This feature ensures that the tester can handle materials subjected to moisture and accurately measure the reduction in tensile strength that occurs when paper is wet.
ISO 1924-3: Continuous Method for Testing Paper
ISO 1924-3 introduces a continuous method for determining tensile properties of paper and paperboard. This method is used for long-term durability testing, especially for materials like corrugated board. The TST-H Horizontal Tensile Tester can be configured to conduct continuous tests, providing valuable insights into the behavior of paper products under sustained stress.
Other Relevant Standards
In addition to ISO 1924, the TST-H Horizontal Tensile Tester complies with several other standards, including:
- ISO 12625-4: Tensile testing of tissue paper.
- ISO 12625-5: General test methods for determining the tensile strength of paper and paperboard.
- TAPPI T494: Standard test method for tensile properties of paper and paperboard.
These standards ensure that the TST-H delivers consistent, accurate, and reliable results for a wide range of paper-based products.
