TMI 10-20 Digital Ink Rub Tester
The Digital Ink Rub Tester is designed to measure scuffing or rubbing resistance.
The Digital Ink Rub Tester is designed to measure scuffing or rubbing resistance. Several tests can be performed including dry rub-the amount of transfer ink from one dry surface to another, wet rub-the amount of transfer of ink from wetted surface to another, wet bleed or transfer-ink transfer to a water-saturated blotter, wet smear-similar to wet bleed with the addition or rub cycles, functional rub/wet rub-smear or transfer tests using a liquid other than water and hot abrasion. An optional heated weight provides a uniform test for evaluating “hot abrasion” resistance of printed cartons, labels etc.
Superceeds TMI Model 10-18 Digital Ink Rub Tester.

Test Methodology
Following ASTM F2622
Standard Test Method for Oxygen Gas Transmission Rate Through Plastic Film and
Sheeting Using Various Sensors
The oxygen gas transmission rate is determined after the sample has equilibrated in a controlled test environment. Control of carrier gas flow rate (for concentration detectors), relative humidity, temperature, and oxygen concentration in both the carrier gas and permeant (test) gas chambers is critical.
The specimen is mounted as a sealed semi-barrier between two chambers at ambient atmospheric pressure. A stream of nitrogen slowly purges one chamber and the other chamber contains oxygen. As oxygen gas permeates through the film into the nitrogen carrier gas, it is transported to the detector where it produces a signal representing the oxygen transmission rate.
