Product Introduction

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.

Product Features

7-inch color touchscreen with graphical user interface (GUI).
High precision sensors ensure high accuracy and repeatability of the force measurement system, and also provide sensor overload protection.
Equipped with micro-printer and standard USB interface.

Test Standards

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).

Test Applications

The ZRD-T1 paper softness tester is ideal for testing:

Tissue & Toilet Paper: Ensures consumer-preferred softness and bulk compressibility.
Nonwoven Fabrics: Validates flexibility of hygiene products (e.g., diapers, wipes) or medical textiles.
Polyolefin Films: Assesses pliability for packaging materials (e.g., soft-touch films).
Textiles: Measures drape and hand-feel in apparel or upholstery fabrics.
Specialty Papers: Evaluates softness in luxury gift wraps or filter papers.
