This document specifies procedures to measure the bending resistance of paper and paperboard using
a Taber-type tester.
This document is used to determine the bending moment required to deflect the free end of a 38 mm
wide vertically clamped specimen by 15° when the load is applied at a bending length of 50 mm. For
boards that tend to be permanently deformed if bent through 15°, the half bending angle, i.e. 7,5°, can be used. The bending resistance is expressed in terms of the bending moment and parameters set by the manufacturer of the Taber-type tester.Cross References:ISO 186ISO 187ISO 5725-1:1994ISO 536ISO/TR 24498All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
