Lab Master Ball Burst Tester
For measuring Burst Force, Burst Strength and Burst Index with 0.1 gram resolution and 0.02% accuracy.
The Lab Master Ball Burst Tester measures Burst Force, Burst Strength and Burst Index with 0.1 gram resolution and 0.02% accuracy.
Analyze penetration resistance (poke-through strength) of dry or wetted sample. Measure and control position with 0.1 μm resolution and 0.2 μm repeatability. Thousands of data points per test are used to generate force/distance curves that reveal material behaviour during test.
