Emerson's Model 1210 Crush Tester is a robust, rigid support, single column type compression tester designed to determine the compressive strength of paper and corrugated board. Compressive force is provided by two rigid platens. The bottom platen is driven and the top platen rests on four certified load cells to guarantee the most accurate test results. The Model 1210 offers fixed parameter tests to perform standardized TAPPI testing for ECT – PAT – FCT – RCT – CMT and CFC. The machine includes a Pentium class on board computer with Microsoft XP Operating System and a color, flat panel monitor. The Model 1210 quickly and reliably captures test results, stores data and groups it for statistical analysis and allows averaging, standard deviation, histograms, and control charts..

NEW Features

  • NEW! Test-result tabular report lists each test result and the statistical analysis for the group of samples tested in an easy-to-read format
  • NEW! Data logging capabilities add test curve output files as CSV, allowing you to see the force vs. deflection curve for each test
  • NEW! Graphics and performance enhancements included
  • INCREASED DYNAMIC RESPONSE allows additional test specimens including glass, fiber, metals, and other extremely brittle samples
  • SAMPLE RATE has increased to 5,000 samples per second, giving the machine a higher sensitivity and response
  • ADDITIONAL USER SETTINGS to help with setting up printers and installing peripheral programs

Features

  • Windows XP Operating System
  • Color 8" x 5" LCD flat panel monitor for easy viewing
  • Data management is easy. Users can create their own specific identification numbers and view data at any time. Stored data can be re-displayed or printed as a table, histogram, or a control chart
  • Platen opening limits are adjustable by user
  • Select specific fixed parameter TAPPI specified tests (ECT, PAT, FCT, RCT, CMT, and CFC), eliminating operator error PLUS User-definable tests: Peak at Fallback, Peak at Deflection, and Force at Deflection
  • Automatic rapid platen return after each test and adjustable positioning speeds for repetitive testing
  • Scaled output converts measured force values to the appropriate TAPPI report units
  • Automatic Zero
  • RS-232 output data that can be used in a third party software, such as Microsoft Office/Excel
  • Built in software load cell protection and adjustable platen positioning for fixture and machine protection
  • USB pen drive, calibration restoration, and updates can be installed easily and used to back up data
  • Calibration: Force, resolution, and speed are password protected but can be changed easily in the software calibration section of the program which allows on-site calibration service
  • Precise flatness and parallelism is held within .0005”
  • Units available in Empirical or metric
  • Calibration Test Certificate provided per ASTM E 74
  • Operation Manual
  • Equipment is calibrated and meets the NIST and the ISO 17025 requirements. A Certificate of Calibration stating traceability is provided with each piece of equipment.
