TAPPI T570

Introducing TAPPI T 570 – Industrial Physics  

TAPPI T 570 is a global standard method of burst testing that’s used to measure how resistant sanitary tissue papers are to mechanical penetration. 

Burst testing is a particularly important sanitary tissue paper test, but what is it? It’s a catch-all term that can refer to lots of different testing techniques, you might also hear it referred to as rupture testing – you can find out more about burst and rupture testing in our guide.  

TAPPI burst testing solutions can give you an accurate picture of how your tissue papers will react to the demands placed on them. Quick and convenient burst strength testing methods that can fit right into your QA process. 

TAPPI T 570 burst testing  

The TAPPI T 570 standard uses the ball burst test procedure to measure how much force is required to burst the sanitary tissue paper.  

To perform this TAPPI burst test a steel ball is passed through the stretched sanitary tissue sample and the force applied is recorded.

So, how can Industrial Physics improve your TAPPI T 570 testing? 

The tissue burst tester 13-76 

Made by our specialist brand Testing Machines Inc, our tissue ball burst tester is a precision testing instrument which automatically determines the burst strength of your tissue paper samples.  

All of your favorite testing parameters: test speed, peak burst strength; they’re all there and selectable with an easy-to-use software program. The system incorporates high resolution, low-capacity load cells with accuracies better than +/-0.5% down to 1/1000th of the load cell capacity for accuracy and simplicity of operation.  

While undertaking tissue paper testing you can set parameters such as test speed and peak burst strength. In addition to tissue burst, other force measurements such as tensile or compression strength can be performed with the proper testing grips and fixtures.

The machine was specifically developed for burst testing to TAPPI T-570, ISO 13938-1:2019 and ISO 12625-11. 

Universal test machines (UTMs) 

One of our industry-leading UTMs will give you complete control over your burst testing to TAPPI standards, including TAPPI T 570.  

Set any critical test parameter to meet the TAPPI standard you’re working towards from test speed to crosshead displacement – and calculations such as peak / average force or average. Any of these inspections can be set and controlled using our software-controlled devices, which come in a variety of models to suit a wide range of products and test scenarios.  

Industrial Physics UTM’s are easy to use and understand – displaying and storing clear graphical test data that’s simple to retrieve for future access and export to other applications or a printer.
