Puncture Tester

For measuring the energy absorption by dynamically puncturing board or corrugated board. The digital, fully automatic puncture tester with a pendulum arm is used to determine the resistance of a clamped sample when dynamically penetrated with a puncture head. It measures the force required to penetrate through the sample. The execution of the test is simple and exact. All information (results, average, standard deviation, number of already executed tests, measuring scale, etc.) can be read from the digital display.

Test description

A board or corrugated board sample is clamped into the sample holder. Pulling the two start levers releases the pendulum from its holder allowing it to puncture the clamped sample with the puncture head. The energy used to accomplish this is determined and can be read from the digital display. After the test, the pendulum arm is fully automated returned to the start position.
