Steinfurth Tension Side Load Tester

Standardized safety tests on sport closures

General Details

Tension Side Load Tester for sport closures

The Tension Side Load Tester for Sport Closures (TSLT) is an appliance designed for use on with an automatic tensile testing machine. It consists of a pneumatic clamp assembly, a pre-form clamp and a pneumatic control box.

OPERATION:

– The design of the clamp assembly complies with ISBT physical performance testing methods #102 and #103.
It simulates a human jaw with teeth.

– The bite force is controlled by a pressure regulator located in the control box and measured using a standard load cell.
