DENSOMETER
Model 58-03 measures air permeability (Gurley
type) of sheet like materials including Paper,
Paperboard and nonwovens. Porosity of paper
or density is an important measurement when
simulating conditions where paper is picked up
under vacuum.

OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES
Smoothness/Softness Kit includes 2 weights,
smoothness plate, softness plate and paper punch

Air resistance by the Gurley method measures the
amount of time in seconds for a specific volume of
air to pass through the voids in a sheet of paper
under a specified clamping pressure.

INSTRUMENT SIZE
D x H x W: 254 mm X 508 X 254 mm
(10 x 20 x 10 in.)
WEIGHT: 22.6 kg (39 lbs)

The Gurley type porosity tester is similar to the
Bendtsen air permeance tester, see catalog # 5821 Roughness and Air Permeance Tester.
