Product Introduction
The Digital Bending stiffness tester employs the two-point bending principle. One end of the specimen is clamped while a bending force is applied to the other end. A high-precision sensor measures the moment required to bend the specimen to a set angle, quantitatively characterizing the bending stiffness of the material. The instrument is equipped with a microcomputer control system and an LCD curve display screen that plots the force-time-angle relationship in real time. Users can flexibly set the test angle (1-90°), test time, and bending length to perform standard stiffness tests, ring crush stiffness tests, and crease stiffness tests. Automatic zeroing, statistics, and printing functions enhance operational efficiency.

FAQ
1. What is bending stiffness? What are the 7.5°, 15°, and 90° test angles used for?
Bending stiffness is the ability of paper or paperboard to resist bending within the elastic deformation range. The 7.5° and 15° angles are standard test angles specified by national standards for general paper and paperboard stiffness measurement. The 90° angle is primarily used for crease stiffness testing, evaluating the spring-back properties of folded paper or paperboard.
2. What is the main difference between the manual and automatic bending length versions?
The manual version offers fixed bending length settings with eight common lengths from 5 to 50 mm, changed manually. The automatic version allows infinite length adjustment between 5 and 60 mm without manual changes, offering greater convenience when frequent bending length adjustments are needed.
3. How should the test time be set? What time is recommended for different materials?
Test time is freely adjustable from 3 to 35 seconds. The instrument's default time is recommended for standard tests. Thicker or stiffer boards may require slightly longer test times for stable data. Specific parameters can be determined by referencing applicable standards or through preliminary trials.
4. Does the instrument support data export and report printing?
The instrument features automatic statistics and printing functions, calculating and printing statistical data including average values and standard deviations. For electronic data export via USB or network interfaces, please consult our technical team for extended functionality options.

5. How is zero calibration and accuracy verification performed?
The instrument features automatic zeroing, which completes automatically upon startup. Routine accuracy verification can be performed using standard stiffness calibration strips. If deviations exceed tolerance, contact our after-sales service for professional calibration.
6. What are the installation environment requirements?
The instrument should be used in a clean environment at 20°C±10°C. The workbench must be flat and stable, free from strong magnetic fields and vibration sources. Power supply is AC 220V/50Hz, maximum current 5A, with reliable grounding.

Bending stiffness is a fundamental physical property that measures the ability of paper and paperboard to resist bending deformation within the elastic range. It directly affects the runnability of paper on high-speed printing presses, the forming quality of cartons during folding and gluing, and the overall functionality of paper-based products. Low stiffness can cause paper jams and misfeeds in printing and converting equipment, while excessively high stiffness may lead to folding difficulties or excessive spring-back that compromises package integrity. The bending stiffness test quantitatively characterizes the flexural rigidity of materials by measuring the moment required to bend a specimen to a specified angle under controlled conditions. Standards such as GB/T 23144 and GB 22364-2018 define the test principle, specimen dimensions, bending angle, and bending length to ensure data comparability across laboratories. Modern digital bending stiffness testers integrate freely settable angles, flexible bending length adjustment, real-time curve display, and automatic statistics and printing, meeting diverse testing needs including standard stiffness, ring crush stiffness, and crease stiffness. They are indispensable professional instruments for quality control in papermaking, packaging, and printing industries, as well as for research and development of new materials.
