INTRODUCTION

The Lab Master Ball Burst Tester measures Burst Force,
Burst Strength and Burst Index with 0.1 gram resolution
and 0.02% accuracy. Analyze penetration resistance
(poke-through strength) of dry or wetted sample. Measure
and control position with 0.1 μm resolution and 0.2 μm
repeatability. Thousands of data points per test are used
to generate force/distance curves that reveal material
behavior during test.
