ISO 13820 specifies the essential characteristics and the principles of calibration of compression testing machines used in testing of paper, board and corrugated fibreboard.
Fixed-platen compression testing machine, operating on the constant rate of determination (strain) principle and capable of operating at a constant speed of (12.5 +- 2.5) mm/min. Beam-deflection compression testing machine capable of applying a load of at least 350 N and operating at a constant rate of (110 +- 10) N/s. By means of our testing expertise and modular product design, we will help find the solution that is right for you. Give our test engineers a call today for help configuring the best test machine and accessories according to ISO 13820.
