Description
Bendtsen Roughness and Air Permeability Tester
Fully automatised measuring cycle
This device comes with a built in touch-screen and an industrial computer. All the parts are built into a sturdy aluminum frame. The device is equipped with up to 3 measuring heads for top and bottom roughness measurements as well as for air permeability. Flow rate range is 25 – 5000 ml/sec. Other flow rates ranges upon request.
Test description
The sample to be tested is placed in the measuring area. By pushing
the start button on the touch screen the measurement cylinders
lower onto the sample. The measuring head is set free and actuated
by gravity on the sample. A pressure difference is generated
between the inner measuring head and the environment. The device
detects the air that’s flowing out between the blade of the measuring
head and the sample. As soon as the flow is stable the device shows
the values in ml/sec on the display. The air permeability head lowers
on the surface of the sample as well and locks the measuring area
towards the outer air. An air stream through the paper is established
and as soon as the flow rate is stable the device shows the values in
ml/min and in Gurley seconds (calculated) on the display.
