About Lastometer Equipment
Lastometer
The determination of distension and strength of grains of any leather sample may conveniently be carried out with the help of the ball burst test. In this test, a hemispherical hardened metallic tip is pressed against one face of the leather disc held in a suitable non-slipping grip and the force needed to make the tip pierce through the test specimen determined to evaluate the grain strength. The distention of leather at which the tip pierces through is also determined. The apparatus used for this evaluation is called Lastometer.
Reliable Performance and PrecisionEngineered for consistent accuracy, the Lastometer features a precision dial and fine clamping mechanism. Its immediate response time, along with 1% accuracy and corrosion-resistant body, ensures laboratory professionals can trust this equipment for repeatable, error-free leather testing and quality assurance.
User-Friendly Design and Versatile UsageThe Lastometer accommodates single specimens up to 70 mm x 6 mm and provides adjustable test speed and stroke for different testing requirements. Its easy-to-use manual operation and standard port size make it compatible with a wide variety of laboratory setups throughout India.
FAQs of Lastometer Equipment:
Q: How is a leather specimen prepared and mounted on the Lastometer Equipment?
A: A specimen should be precisely cut to dimensions of 70 mm x 6 mm. It is then carefully clamped into the Lastometer using the easy-to-operate clamping system to ensure accuracy and prevent slippage during the test.
Q: What type of results does the Lastometer Equipment provide during leather testing?
A: The equipment measures the elongation and bursting strength of the leather up to 15 mm, accurately displaying the result with 0.1 mm resolution and 1% of reading, allowing users to assess leather quality reliably.
Q: When is it recommended to use the Lastometer for leather sample analysis?
A: The Lastometer is ideally used in quality control and research scenarios within ambient temperatures (10C to 35C) to establish the durability and flexibility of leather before or during production cycles.
Q: Where can the Lastometer Equipment be installed in a laboratory setting?
A: This equipment is designed for compatibility with standard laboratory fittings, allowing it to be easily integrated onto existing laboratory benches and supplied with 230V AC, 50 Hz power.
Q: What is the testing process followed by the Lastometer Equipment?
A: Once the specimen is mounted, the test speed is set to 100 5 mm/min, and the equipment manually stretches the leather until the burst or required elongation is achieved, which is then immediately displayed.
Q: What are the key benefits of using the Lastometer for leather analysis?
A: Its robust, corrosion-resistant structure, high measurement precision, immediate response time, and simple operation collectively enhance productivity and test reliability in professional leather testing laboratories.
