Physical specifications and utilities

Electrical supply	Approx. 220–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, single phase; build-dependent.
Power / connected load	Approx. 200–600 W connected load for preliminary planning.
Overall instrument dimensions	Approx. 600 × 600 × 1500 mm (W × D × H).
Instrument weight	Approx. 60–110 kg net.
Gross / shipping weight	Approx. 91–162.5 kg gross; estimated packing allowance.
Interfaces	USB communication port supplied as standard.
Lab requirements	Level, stable working surface; specimen conditioning follows the selected method.

Dimension order and approximate values are stated in each row. Packaging data are separate from instrument dimensions and net mass. Approx. rows are preliminary engineering estimates based on comparable equipment and function/capacity; they are not verified manufacturing measurements or standard requirements. Installation and shipment are finalised against the approved drawing and nameplate. Estimate scope: base product / one unit; external computer, bench and auxiliary plant excluded.

Specifications, dimensions, and power requirements are approximate and subject to change without prior notice for continuous design improvements.

Product technical specifications and images may vary according to manufacturing conditions and applicable standards.

Test and configuration

Measured output / function: Ball burst force (N)
Parameters selected for the method: Ball diameter, aperture, specimen clamping and speed
Verification points: Load cell, ball and holder geometry

Listed methods are application references. Suitability is established by assessing the selected hardware, current method and calibration together.

Test parameters for the reviewed method

Values belong to the stated source edition. Test recipe, fixture and delivered instrument configuration are selected together.

ASTM D3787 (earlier edition) · 6 / 10

Ball-burst method: ball diameter 25.400 ± 0.005 mm; ring inside diameter 44.450 ± 0.025 mm; pulling speed 305 ± 13 mm/min.

ASTM D6797-02 · 6.2.1, 9

CRE ball burst: ball diameter 25.400 ± 0.005 mm; ring bore 44.450 ± 0.025 mm; speed 305 ± 13 mm/min. Separate rounding rules apply to individual and mean results.

ISO 3303-1:2020 · 5.1-5.2

Coated-fabric ball-burst fixture: steel ball 25.20 ± 0.02 mm, clamping-ring internal diameter 45 ± 0.5 mm; ISO 7500-1 class 2 force system. Report use of the alternative 38 ± 0.02 mm ball; results are not directly comparable.

ISO 9073-5:2008 · 5.1-5.4

Nonwoven ball burst: steel ball 25.400 ± 0.005 mm, ring bore 44.500 ± 0.025 mm; CRT machine converted to compression mode. These tolerances differ from the ISO 3303-1 coated-fabric kit; select the corresponding ball/ring set separately.

Control and recording specification

The following are method-specific software/recording requirements; delivered software modules are defined by the order scope.

Method code and edition, specimen ID, operator and selected test parameters are linked to the record.
Peak force is reported in N; it is not confused with diaphragm burst pressure in kPa.
Raw measurements, units, valid/invalid test flags and the reported result remain traceable.
Calculations are checked against known inputs and an independent calculation; sensor channels are checked against calibration values.
