17-60 Universal Crush Tester

INTRODUCTION

Designed in close cooperation with industry, the Universal Crush Tester is rugged enough for any production testing environment. Microprocessor control and operator friendly software makes the Model 17-60 simple to operate. Ergonomic control layout maximizes testing speed while minimizing sample testing errors resulting in incorrect data.. The instrument meets or exceeds all current and projected standards for accuracy, precision, and parallelism.

System Software includes 8 Corrugated Test Methods for quick access including: RCT, CCT, ECT, CMT, FCT, PAT, CLT and SQT- score test which calculates Score Ratio of scored verses unscored samples.
