Digital Elmendorf Tearing Tester


The new G308 Digital Dual-Pendulum Elmendorf Tearing Tester measures the tearing strength of materials using the Elmendorf impact pendulum method. It can test the tear strength of materials under impact forces ranging from 200 to 30.000 cN.

Application

Digital Elmendorf Tearing Tester, to determine the tearing resistance strength (Elmendorf method) for various textiles. Also available for thick paper, plastic cloth and electrical insulating tapes.

Elmendorf Tear Strength Tester has three interchangeable pendulums ranging from 16.000 to 128.000 Millinewtons (mN) can be selected separately for multiple test method compliance.
