Documentation
Description
The Sonic Sheet Tester, built in PTA-Line design, measures the tensile stiffness index and the tensile stiffness orientation. The built in ultrasonic measuring head possesses 16 sensors. The large touchscreen serves as control device and displays graphs and single values. The individual fibres of paper are linearly geared towards machine direction. Thus the diagram gets an oval form. The SST device indicates if malfunctions are detected on the paper web.
Test description
The paper web is fixed in the device, precisely adjusted. By pushing the start button, the measuring head sinks onto the sample. 8 sensors send ultrasonic waves. These cross the paper to the opposite sensor. The speed is measured, which the ultrasonic waves require to cross the paper. Subsequently, graphs and single values are displayed. If using a single transport, the reel sample is automatically transported forwards, so that further measurements can be performed.
