Model: TF140C

Brand: TESTEX

Product Elmendorf tearing strength tester (patented product), is used to determine the ballistic tearing strength of paper, textiles, plastics or board.

Elmendorf tear tester (protear) enables rapid determination of the dynamic resistance of materials designed to be subject to strong shearing loads (e.g. fabrics) or liable to be damaged by sharp or heavy objects (e.g. paper bags). Subsequently, the test was naturally adopted for all materials in the form of sheet or films, cardboard, cloth, knitted fabrics, plastic films, aluminum foil, non-woven fabrics, complex flexible packaging etc.

Elmendorf tensile testing machine is not applied to sparse fabric or stretch materials which the tearing direction might be the shift in the test.

Compressed air of 0.4~ 0.7 mPa is required.
