Taber 108-1 Torsional Stiffness Tester
The Taber Torsional Stiffness Apparatus Model 108 is used to measure the flexibility and stiffness of leather and similar materials.
Features
- The Torsional Stiffness Apparatus has been employed to measure the relative stiffness of gloving leathers.
- Based on the design described in ASTM D2821, this instrument is useful in measuring the flexibility and stiffness of a leather or other bendable specimen.
- Measure the relative stiffness of leather and other flexible materials.
- Includes Remote Finger Control Knob to assist with testing
Standards
ASTM D2821
Procedure
- A specimen is affixed to a weighted clamp secured at the bottom of a torsion wire.
- A torsion head equipped with a dial protractor is turned in a plane normal to the torsion wire until the
- Specimen has been twisted 90 degrees.
- The angle of torsion reading is obtained from the dial protractor.
