This test method covers a procedure used to measure the resistance to bending of paper and paperboard.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D06 on Paper and Paper Products, this test method was withdrawn in May 2010 because an equivalent TAPPI publication exists.
Значение и использованиеBending resistance of paper relates to a number of end-use applications including wrapping, printing, copy machine performance, high-speed mechanical handling of documents, and other applications.
Область применения1.1 This test method covers a procedure used to measure the resistance to bending of paper and paperboard.
1.2 The bending moment required to deflect the free end of a 38-mm (1.5-in.) wide vertically clamped specimen 15° from its center line when the load is applied 50 mm (1.97 in.) away from the clamp is determined. The resistance to bending is calculated from the bending moment.
1.3 Some instruments of the type described in this test method (see Section 6) may be equipped with ultrasensitive attachments or may be modified to accommodate shorter specimen lengths than that specified in this test method (see Section 9).
1.4 Test Method D 5650
1.5 Test results obtained using modifications of the basic Taber-type instrument such as that described in Test Method D 5650
