Interchangeable test areas directly affect method selection because the test area needs to fit the procedure and the material you are evaluating. This system supports multiple test area options and four bursting modes, so you can configure the setup around the specimen type rather than forcing different materials into one fixed opening. That is valuable when moving between fabrics, nonwovens, paper, and board, or when aligning the tester with different supported bursting methods.

For sample setup, consistency is the key point. GenBurst Pro offers 7.3 cm2, 10 cm2, 50 cm2, and optional 100 cm2 test areas, and it is supplied standard with 7.3 cm2 and 50 cm2 test sets. Once you choose the appropriate area, keep that configuration consistent across your program so the stressed zone, burst strength data, and distension results stay comparable.

When determining the optimal configuration for your samples, you can learn more about the system or request a quote with your material type, target method, and preferred test area, and we will help match the right test set to your workflow.
