About MeEach batch of paper during development as well as during manufacture was tested several times using a series of pieces of equipment as well as visually. This machine ensured that the paper surface was of correct stiffness.

This model could evaluate stiffness and resiliency properties of materials up to 10,000 Taber Stiffness Units. This precision instrument provides accurate test measurement to ±1.0% for specimens 0.004" to 0.297" thickness. Materials include paper, paperboard, plastics, metals, textiles, rubber, wire, tubing, felts and other sheet materials.
