Out of Plane Ultrasonic System (OPUS)
Model: zOPUS OPUS is an out-of-plane ultrasonic system for the measurement of paper and like materials using a dry contact technique. The instrument measures soft platen thickness and determines Specific Stiffness and Young’s modulus in the "through" direction (referred to as Z-directional or ZD) of the material under test.
This information is valuable especially for paper board manufacturers and is useful in packaging and other board performance applications.
Application: • Paper • Paperboard • Tissue • Gypsum • Thin Film Plastics • Pressure Sensitive Materials
Features: • Longitudinal wave transducers • Pre-Engineering and end-use performance prediction • Tissue Softness prediction • ZD Longitudinal Specific Tensile Stiffness • Apparent Density values • Young’s Modulus values • Impedance values • Attenuation values • Integrated Soft-platen Thickness • Minimum sample area diameter: 25mm • Loading Pressure: 50 kPa & 20 kPa • Generates Excel compatible data files for data analysis
Benefits: • Fast Measurements (10 seconds) • Measures fundamental engineering constants of paper • Non destructive testing • No sample preparation = less operator error • Sensitive to small variations • Accurate and repeatable testing • Removes test ambiguity • Automated testing for full CD strip
