The 32-91 Lab Master® Surface Softness Tester is designed to precisely determine the frictional softness characteristics of tissue paper and non-woven products and produces immediate, operator-independent measurement of surface friction that correlates with sensory panel data. A highly sensitive load beam is capable of measuring frictional force between 0.1-100.0 gram. A wire-wound sensor is attached to the load beam and is pulled across the sample at a defined speed.
