Roll Hardness Tester

A roll hardness tester is a device to measure the roll hardness, hardness profile and hardness variation of paper rolls. Roll hardness is one of the most important parameters when deciding whether a paper roll is good or bad. A roll that is wound too softly can go out of round when handled. A roll that is wound too hard, on the other hand, can crack during transportation.[1] These variations are difficult to detect. Above all, it is typically the variation in hardness across a given roll that relates most directly to such converting issues with soft edges being perhaps the biggest contributor.

The roll hardness tester is an analog measuring device to determine concrete strength. The measuring method of the roll hardness tester is based on the Schmidt principle. With this measuring method, a kinetic impact energy hits the concrete from the roll hardness tester. The resulting rebound enables the roll hardness tester to determine the strength of the concrete.
