Mullen type burst strength testing machine. Microprocessor controlled paper and board versions available with a maximum capacity of 2000kPa and 7000kPa respectively. Pneumatic clamping. Interlinked safety devices. Displays bursting strength and bursting index.

According to Mullen, the bursting strength resistance is one of the most important physical characteristics to measure in most flexible substrates including paper, board, textiles, non-wovens, foils and plastics.

The MTA-2000 series is an automatic, microprocessor controlled and electronic series of testers. They support statistical analysis that can be either viewed on the LCD or directly transferred to a printer or PC through the RS-232 interface. Excellent reproducibility and repeatability are guaranteed through pneumatic clamping of the sample. The instruments are ideal for both quality control and research and development.
