## Paper and board — Determination of resistance to bending — Part 2: Taber-type tester

active, Most Current
 Organization: ISO Publication Date: 1 February 2020 Status: active Page Count: 16 ICS Code (Paper and board): 85.060
##### scope:

This document specifies procedures to measure the bending resistance of paper and paperboard using a Taber-type tester.

This document is used to determine the bending moment required to deflect the free end of a 38 mm wide vertically clamped specimen by 15° when the load is applied at a bending length of 50 mm. For boards that tend to be permanently deformed if bent through 15°, the half bending angle, i.e. 7,5°, can be used. The bending resistance is expressed in terms of the bending moment and parameters set by the manufacturer of the Taber-type tester.

The method is primarily used for papers with a high grammage.

NOTE This document does not cover the low-range version of the Taber-type instrument that uses a bending length of 10 mm (see Reference [5]).
