IBP-5A:

Test specimens are cut with a dimension of 25,4 mm wide and 200 mm long. The test specimen is placed in the tape dispenser pulling the tapes from opposite end at the same time. This way, the “Sandwich” of paper and tape in both sides of the paper is prepared automatically. The test specimen is now placed in the blocks and the equipment must be closed. The 5 aluminium angles go directly over the test specimen. The pressure is settled in Newtons or Psi, time is also settled in seconds, and finally the number of cuts is selected depending on the paper thickness. Test button is pressed and the test cycle starts. The pressure application and cutting is done automatically. When finishing the test, the equipment is opened and the test specimens removed. Now the specimens are ready to be tested in the Scott Bond equipment.
