The Tissue Softness Tester is a precision instrument that simulates hand feel to measure material softness. Designed in compliance with GB8942 national standard for paper softness determination, it's ideal for testing medium and high-grade toilet paper, tobacco sheets, fabrics, and similar sheet materials.

Key Features

Microcomputer-controlled digital test system with touch screen interface
Bilingual (Chinese/English) operating system with intuitive controls
Advanced technology with reliable performance and easy operation
Ideal for paper manufacturing, scientific research, and quality inspection

Test Principle

The instrument measures softness by pressing a plate probe into the sample to a depth of approximately 8mm. The softness value (in millinewtons) represents the sum of the sample's maximum anti-bending force vector and the friction between sample and gap. Lower values indicate softer materials.
