TAPPI T 494

TAPPI T 494 is a test method established by the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) for determining the tensile properties of paper and paperboard materials. This test method measures properties such as tensile strength, elongation, and tensile energy absorption (TEA), which are essential for evaluating the performance and durability of paper products. The constant rate of elongation (CRE) apparatus is used in this method to ensure consistent results.

The standard specifies procedures for sample preparation, test conditions, and data interpretation. The results are crucial for manufacturers to understand how their paper and paperboard products will perform under tension, ensuring quality for applications such as packaging, printing, and industrial use.

At Pacorr Testing Instruments Pvt Ltd, our testing equipment is designed to meet the requirements of TAPPI T 494, delivering precise and reliable results for tensile strength testing of paper and paperboard. This allows manufacturers to ensure their products meet industry standards for strength, flexibility, and durability.
