The VERSITRON Series is a top-loading tester with our exclusive test surface referencing feature, that applies the preload and full load through the test head. These systems comply with ASTM E-18. The preload is not applied through the elevating screw. In fact, the entire load system is modular and self-contained within the test head. With a single pull of a lever, the operator can perform an entire test cycleapplying both the preload and full load and obtained results in as little as 4 seconds. Operator influence on the test is negligible. Motor-drive systems are even easier using a footswitch or push button.
Features & Benefits:
The automatic 9000N Series Brinell hardness tester displays the hardness result without using a Brinell scope. Used for high volume testing without operator influence. Uses a Rockwell-type method with a standard Brinell ball and test load to read out directly in Brinell scales.
The Newage 9000N Series production tester makes a Brinell impression in conformance with the standard method for Brinell testing as described in ASTM E-10. These testers are typically used in custom applications where Newage Testing Instruments customizes this tester for the customers exact testing requirements. The resulting impression may be measured optically to determine the Brinell number. However, the 9000N Series automatically measures the depth of the impression, similar to the Rockwell method. The depth of the indentation method is described in ASTM E103. This technique offers users greater testing speed and reduced operator influence on test results. Like a Rockwell test, the 9000N Series applies a preload and then a major load. The depth of measurement is calculated on the difference between these loads.
The 9000N Series also feature a special test reference device- a floating nose piece that surrounds the indenter and which references the surface of the specimen. This allows the tester to retain accurate readings throughout the entire load application and that is allows testing on specimens that may be out of level by up to 2-degrees. This means that castings with a normal draft angle may be tested with accurate results. Also, normal dimensional variation on parts will not adversely affect the result.
With Many Applications in Primary Metals, Automotive and Transportation Manufacturing, Oilfield Pipe and Pressure Vessels, etc
The Newage KB Series is a popular, manually-controlled Brinell hardness tester that meets ASTM E-110. This lightweight, portable tester is ideal for virtually any size or shape of metal specimen. Simply place the specimen between the anvil and test head; manually crank the test head downward onto the specimen; and apply the desired load using the hydraulic lever. Overload protection is standard. The tester applies up to 3000 kg load on a 10mm ball, making a visible indentation that is read using a Brinell scope or our B.O.S.S. system. The calibrated accuracy is better than 0.5% of the applied load.
The KB Series tester is available with load measurement systems of 1000 kgf and 3000 kgf with variations for extended rams or with a chain adapter. The chain adapter is 4 ft in length and is used for large cylinder samples. It secures onto the test head and wraps around the specimen holding the specimen securely during the test procedure. The test head may also be supplied with an extended ram length. The extended length is ideal for recessed areas or over raised edges. Other options include a reverse direction load adapter used for measuring inside diameters on pipe, tube, etc.
The Newage Pin Brinell is the de-facto standard for economical Brinell hardness measurement. This simple-to-use and inexpensive tester can be used across the entire Brinell range (HB100 to HB700). The Pin Brinell applies force to the indenter by the operator using a hammer or a clamping device. The force applied is controlled using a calibrated shear pin. When the load is applied and the force applied reaches the shear pins shear limit, the shear pin breaks. The diameter of the resulting indentation can then be read on a Brinell scope, such as our HiLight scope, or for more exacting measurements, on the Newage B.O.S.S. system.
The Pin Brinells load to indentation size ratio provides a displacement that is equivalent to the most common Brinell test (3000 kg load, 10mm ball). The Brinell values are arrived at using the standard Brinell formula.
Available in two models: the CPIT Impact Tester and CPST Static & Impact Tester.
The Pin Brinell is compact and is ideal for those applications where mounting the sample on a more traditional bench tester may be impractical.

This innovative principle offers a completely new opportunity to characterise and understand the phenomena of dynamic water absorption. Here the water uptake is continuously monitored across a full 100 cm area of sized paper or board as a function of time. Apart from the total amount of absorbed water over 60 seconds, this technology reveals the different dynamic components of water absorption. Once the operator has inserted the test specimen, the test is done automatically by the instrument as no weighing or blotting of the specimen is required. This way the regular operator time of three minutes for a 60 second Cobb test is reduced to only a few seconds for loading of the specimen.
FEATURESThe specimen is clamped in a closed chamber against a porous membrane saturated with water. The absorbed amount of water is then continuously monitored using a precision level sensor. After apreset time (e.g. 60 seconds), the test is automatically terminated, free water on the test surface is removed and the clamp is opened up releasing the specimen. A Cobb value is finally displayed together with the curve showing dynamic water absorption as a function of time (see reverse for chart).
With this machine, a pliable specimen is placed under a constant tension load. The specimen is then folded to an angle of 135 in either direction, at the rate of 175 double folds per minute until the specimen is severed at the crease. A variable folding rate option allows the operator to vary the folding rate between 20 and 175 double folds per minute.
Three Models to Meet Your RequirementsModel 1 - PaperFor paper, leather, fine wire and other pliable materials with comparatively low elongation characteristics. This machine accepts standard 14 cm long by 15 mm wide specimens. Holding jaws are available that will accept specimens varying in thickness from 0.01 to 0.07 in. Jaw size(s) required should be stated when ordering.
The optional centrifugal exhaust fan draws conditioned room air across the specimen and the head to accurately control the temperature and humidity in the fold area in accordance with TAPPI Method T 511 and ASTM D 2176.
Model 2 - PlasticsFor plastics and other materials with relatively high amounts of elongation, this machine provides the same operating principles and holding jaw options as the Model 1, however, the loading system has been modified to automatically compensate for specimen elongation up to 100% on a 1 inch gage length. Loads of any desired magnitude from lb. to 5 lb. in increments of lb. can be applied with full assurance of uniformity throughout the test.
Model 3 - Combination Paper and Plastics Tester.For maximum flexibility in testing both paper and plastic specimens, this versatile folding endurance tester incorporates the features and capacities of both Models 1 and 2, as described above, in a single unit.

The Smith Roll Tightness Tester determines roll winding uniformity to eliminate roll bursting and press breakdown from poorly wound rolls.
Paper Rolls not wound with uniform tension can cause a variety of problems. Large diameter rolls that are extremely tight on the outside tend to burst during handling and shipping. Uneven roll tightness often results in starring- the warping of the winding core. On highspeed web presses, the warped core causes uneven feed and paper jerking and can cause the breakdown of the press.
FEATURESThe Schmidt Roll Hardness Tester determines the hardness of large rolls of paper, film and foil. It provides fast, accurate, non-destructive hardness profiles of rolls to assure smooth and efficient printing. Rolls that are too hard, or too soft, rolls that are unevenly wound, or rolls with different moisture contents can cause difficulties during the printing process. The Schmidt Roll Hardness Tester is often used in conjunction with the Smith Roll Tightness Tester (TMI 40-54-00) to provide a complete profile of roll properties.
PRINCIPLEThe Original SCHMIDT test hammer is based on the principle of rebound measurement and is very simple in its handing. The impact plunger of the instrument is pressed against the paper roll which compresses a spring. After reaching a certain point, the spring is released and an internal hammer mass is launched against the impact plunger. The amount of hammer mass rebound depends on the hardness of the test piece. This rebound amount is then shown on a scale of 10 to 100. Test intervals of 2" to 4" (5 to 10 cm) across the whole width of the roll will give the values for the Hardness-Profile within a short period of time. The testing is non-destructive with exception of very light marks that the instrument leaves on the top two or three layers. Such Hardness-Profiles will show immediately whether the rolls have the necessary consistency. Rolls that are too soft, or rolls with inconsistent hardness are immediately recognized and can be rejected before the actual insertion in the press.
APPLICATIONSPaper, Film, Foil, Printing, Graphic Arts
FEATURESTensile testing is the most widely used method for indicating the serviceability of many papers. Tensile Energy Absorption (T.E.A.) indicates the durability of papers which are subjected to repetitive straining and stressing. The Horizontal Tensile Tester offers menu driven pre-selection of parameters and infra-red sample detection for quick, effortless testing.
The tensile measurement aids in assessing the suitability of a product for its end use and close relationship between tensile strain and fiber bonding serve to make this a very important test. Bchel B.V. has developed the Horizontal Tensile tester to perform these relevant tests in a professional way. The instrument has a build in large black & white liquid crystal display that is used in a conversational mode, allowing input of specimen identity and all relevant test parameters. The test results are displayed and transmitted via the RS232-C serial output. The transmitted data may be used in a data acquisition system. Statistical data is calculated and displayed after the operator ends a test series.

The measurement of Z-Directional tensile strength was developed to determine the structure of a sheet of paper or board when subjected to tensile stresses in the out-of-plane direction or Z-Direction. Z-Directional Tensile Strength is a measure of the internal fiber bonding strength of a substrate.
ZDTZ Directional Tensile Strength is different than other conventional means of measuring maximum force (Tensile Strength) or internal bonding strength such as the Scott Bond method for materials strength testing. Other strength properties for this type of measurement include: internal bond strength, ply adhesion and ply bond strength.
LAB MASTER ZDTThe Lab Master ZDT Tester is a precision PC Controlled testing instrument which automatically determines internal bond strength according to TAPPI T 541. All testing parameters such as test speed, dwell time and compression force are selectable in an easy to use, intuitive software program supplied with the instrument.
PRECISION TESTINGPeak Force is measured to a maximum capacity of 1100 N (250 Lbs) with a 0.04 N (0.01Lbs) resolution and accuracy of 0.5% of reading. Position is measured and controlled with 0.1m resolution and 0.2 m repeatability. Peak force is measured by applying a force in the z-direction until ply separation occurs.
APPLICATIONSZDT measurements are an effective tool for monitoring a variety of strength properties which aid in improving printing and coating applications, bonding strength of paper cores, delamination strength, intrinsic fiber bond strength, paperboard and combined board strength and fiber-to-fiber bond strength.
