Measurement Principle:The equipment allows measuring the time required for a ”simulated greasy material” (dyed palm kernel oil) to penetrate through a paper or board sample, either in a smooth or creased state.
- Break-through time: Real penetration time detected through the staining of a control cellulose absorbent paper.
- Show-through time: Time until visual detection of the first stains on the paper surface.
----------------
- High Testing Capacity: Equipped with 10 independent test stations, allowing the 10 simultaneous determinations required by the standard for a representative sample.
- Ergonomic and Visual Design: It features a high-strength glass plate supported on an elevated structure, allowing clear visualization of samples via a lower mirror with adequate lighting.
- Precision Components (according to ISO 16532-1):
- 10 Test Weights: Calibrated mass between 50 g and 55 g with a diameter of 30 mm.
- 10 Metal Rings: 200 g mass to secure the contact area.
- Metal Template: For controlled volumetric application of grease (30 mm diameter).
- Material Versatility: Suitable for testing food-grade cardboard, tracing paper, parchment, and papers treated with plastic coatings or organophobic agents.
