Paper Softness Tester ZRD-T1
-
The ZRD-T1 Paper Softness Tester is a device designed to objectively measure the softness of paper products, such as tissues, toilet paper, or specialty papers. Softness is a complex tactile property influenced by factors like surface smoothness, flexibility, and bulk compressibility. It is widely used in industries such as tissue manufacturing, hygiene product development, textiles, and packaging to ensure compliance with quality standards and end-user comfort requirements. This test instrument conforms to many national and international standards: ASTM D2923: Standard Test Method for Rigidity of Paper – Measures bending resistance to determine stiffness. ASTM D6828: Standard Test Method for Stiffness of Nonwoven Fabrics – Evaluates drape and flexibility in materials like medical textiles or wipes. TAPPI T498: Bending Resistance of Paper (Gurley Method) – Quantifies resistance to bending forces, inversely related to softness. GB/T 8942: Chinese Standard for Softness Testing of Household Paper – Aligns with consumer expectations for tissue and toilet paper tactile quality. ISO 12625-9: Softness Evaluation of Tissue Products (optional add-on).
