Room Temperature 10 Bank Shear Tester Cheminstruments SS-RT-10

Description Cheminstruments SS-RT-10

Precise room temperature shear tests are made easier with the ChemInstruments SS-RT-10 Room Temperature 10 Bank Shear Tester. It performs shear tests according to PSTC-7 Procedure A, TLMI Test No. 7 and ASTM D 3654 Procedure A for holding power of pressure sensitive tapes. It can also be used for PSTC-14, adhesion of pressure sensitive tape to fiberboard at 90° angle and constant stress and PSTC-7 Procedure B.

• Capable of holding panels of various thicknesses, up to 1/4″ (6mm)
• Mechanical switches can be calibrated to trip when using weights from 100 to 1,000 grams
• Adjustable feet allow the user to level the testing plane
• Panel rack is marked for the standard 178° back tilt, as specified by most shear test methods
• Adjustable angle panel rack allows the user to easily change the test angle from 178° to 90°
• Foam covered weight landing platforms absorb the impact of falling test weights
